Anyone else just completely overwhelmed in life? Three kids, uncertainty with what the heck we're doing for school, a senior leadership position at work, a rocky and difficult marriage that's been exacerbated by sheltering in place. My husband needs a lot from me emotionally right now (maybe it's not a lot..maybe it's just standard marriage, but I feel numb). I feel like I'm reaching the point of mentally checking out. Like not caring about anything right now. Trying to be a good wife, a good mom and a good employee/leader feels 100% impossible right now. Something has to give.
I think many of us are feeling this. How could we not? When I was feeling very down, DH said to me, "this is a hard time, of course it will be hard." (He's a very pragmatic person, but somehow, when he said something so obvious, it made things better for me).
I think we just need to be kind to ourselves. Understanding if things aren't up to pre-pandemic standards. Forgiving to ourselves and others.
i'm struggling too - the unknown makes it impossible to plan. the school situation is completely possible. And we have no leadership
