struggling



Hi dear community,
I know you all will get it. I'm having one of those days. I feel like I can't be all of the places that I need to be. My nerves feel fried.
Just wanted to say that if this is also you, my hand is in yours. 💜 And you are not alone.
A friend shared this (see pic) about emotional burnout and I felt it in my bones.
I just cannot accommodate any more challenges.
Take care,
Sending you loving kindness and understanding,
Jen

Jen I feel you. I hope it gets better. I found I needed to take a short break from it all and if you can, that may help. Even just a short walk every day, a few days off, after getting through all the obligations. Hope you get some rest.

Amen! You aren't alone although I know that isn't always comforting. I hope you have someone willing to let you take breaks. Even respite care for like a week to rest and relax. Hang in there! You're doing an amazing job!

Thank you. These are such wise words that you share here. I think I have gotten stuck in "give mode". I know I need to get into recharge mode soon. I am wishing you well.
