needless to say, i didnt rest yesterday but DEFINITELY need to today. i reached my max, my muscles felt spent. Instead af possessing this "im exercising because im dieting" mindset. im exercising because it helps regulate my mind, body, and emotions; for stress relief.
My 9yr old son has PTSD and throws tantrums exactly like a 3 yr old when told no or doesnt get what he wants...my toddler turns into a tasmanian devil and possesses the ability to overturn an entire living room and leave the room like he didnt do anything...
magical creatures, children are, arent they?
as a stay at home mom, i never leave work, i dont get breaks, and since we moved to a new state, i dont have friends to go hang with. Im here, all day everyday. The isolation is killer..

I think that's one of the hardest things about being as SAHM, the whole 24-hour shift deal. I would be standing in the kitchen, stuffing my face, not out of hunger but out of the complete and total sense of being overwhelmed - almost swallowed, by all of the shit I had/have to do. I would feel like my CNS was on fire, and I needed that dopamine surge from stuffing my gullet to put it out. And then there's that whole not talking to another adult all day long. Children truly are magical creatures, but you need to take care of YOU before you can take care of them. Get selfish.

Im seriously tearing up because i literally feel insane. Im happy that someone can relate. I did exactly what you did-eat to stuff emotions, especially overwhelm!! My fiancee works 12 hr shifts and he didnt notice how much i was struggling in the beginning...now he sees me more

You are definitely not insane!! That’s great that your SO is becoming more aware of your situation. Be brave and let him know what you need - he will help you!
