I feel numbed out and so sad at the very same time... I can't write or be creative in any other way right now. All the crap is stuck inside of me.
I feel lost... empty... like I could just lay down and fade away... No energy left... Where am I? Who am I? What is real... what is not? I feel so lonely and still I feel like hiding away from people... even those I know care about me.

My daughter is so hard to handle. My son was good to be around this weekend. We were alone all Saturday and that was really nice. But it takes a lot out of me being with him... so intense... you have to have a sharp mind all the time.

I'm going to see a friend a few weeks from now... but that makes me feel selfish leaving everything behind... even though I know I need it. Right now it seem so far away though. I need a break NOW! Saying that makes me feel terrible! I feel like a real s**t mom!

Sorry!

You are not a bad mom, HeartWhispers; you sound like a very good mom. Don't feel guilty about taking a break (and wanting the break to come sooner). I'm very familiar with that "mommy guilt." It's not selfish of you to want to get away from everything and visit a friend.

I hope you feel better soon ...and I hope the time before your trip passes quickly!

Best wishes to you.

I am sorry you are struggling so much right now. All parents get burnt out on their kids some times, its normal.

You are a wonderful, amazing, caring, supportive mother. You deserve a break! Don't be too hard on yourself, okay? With all that you've had on your plate lately, it's amazing that you are still able to parent the way you do. Take the time to re-charge your batteries and focus on yourself for a change!

I feel useless, ugly... and sort of 'dead'.

You are too hard on yourself, dear person.......try not to be so brutal in your judgement of self

"To make sense of a muddy world, let it be still until it becomes clear" Lao Tzu.

Take the time.....to look
to feel
to love.......

and know that you deserve the peace and stillness......
