overwhelmed

I have become overwhelmed with my daily tasks and I have some added on chores that need to be accomplished. I'm so tired I can barely get up and go to work. I order supper bcs I'm too tired to cook. *sigh* *sigh* my son is not making things easy on me either. I ask him to clean his room all of a sudden I'm the worst mom ever. I just don't know how much more I can take. I'm all alone besides my son. I feel terrible. I don't feel suicidal but I do feel really down and am thinking it wld be better if I was gone. I have no plans at the moment anyway. I can't stop crying while I'm at home. Trying to put on a brave face at work and it is wearing me out. I cld sleep all day if I ddnt have a kid

it's hard being a Mom and trying to pretend we got it all together.

all i can say is don't forget "me" time, hun.

sorry if this is not much help!

It sounds like this is a really tough time for you. I'm sorry to hear that. Just realize, though, that things will not always be like this. There's a better job out there somewhere where'd you feel more fulfilled. I know it's hard right now, but just try to put on some music and blast it and sing in the mirror or something like you were a kid again. Do something to break the pattern so that it doesn't get too strong a hold on you. Hope this helps.

I am sorry to here that you are feeling so low. I know how that can feel. Just remember to take care of your first. And everything else second. I know it is hard to do. But we have to. Hugs for your day.

I understand perfectly. Please try and take a little time just for yourself and be really kind to yourself. I am sorry it is so hard right now. (((bridgie)))

Hi, Bridgie! I suffer from unrefreshing sleep, that is, regardless of the number of hours of sleep I get, it's basically low-quality sleep. How's your sleep quality? Are you in a position to effectively assess that? Might you benefit from some sort of sleep aid or "sleep hygiene" program?

I'm not suggesting unrefresing sleep is your problem; it might be one of several interconnected problems, which all together make life exceptionally difficult.

HANG IN THERE!!!

Things WILL get better. Things ALWAYS change. You CAN do this.

Keep posting!!!

Do you have a T? Maybe having a therapist to talk to and problem solve with could help?

My son is going to grandparents for a cpl days. I get a reprieve. I'm still so tired. I think I sleep heavily but I don't know. I hope this break gives me time to get things together. I have my first therapy apt friday. I'm nervous about that too.

((((((((bridgie)))))))) glad to hear you'll be getting a couple of days break. I hope you manage to use the time for R & R for yourself. Good Luck for your therapy appointment.

Sending strength, love and hugs ...

Good luck tomorrow!! Please let us know how it goes.

Hi Rohag,

Are you saying you have trouble sleeping or that even when you sleep alot you still feel tired?

If it is the latter, have you ever been tested for sleep apnea or had your thyroid checked?

Both sleep apnea or hypothyroidism can make you feel exhausted. They also can contribute to depression.

I've had my thyroid checked a few times and it was okay every time. Never thought about sleep apnea before. I m going in to therapy today. Maybe can work through whatever is going on. I feel so heavy. I got to sleep in a ltl today and I've had some coffee that will get me through awhile. I just want the energy to work out and clean and cook for my son. I have a cpl days off now so randr. Hope its enuff.
