Oh wow, I feel for you. yes, you deserve a 3-day nap, but I was just reading about a "double breath" for anxiety. you inhale deeply through your nose, then when you're full, take one more sharp/quick inhale and then exhale through your mouth. no clue if it'll help 🤣🫠 but hey what else ya got 🥰 good luck Mama

You're dealing with so much stress! Amid taking care of everyone else, if possible, try to take some extra care of yourself. You can't run on empty. Some extra sleep may be in order. I'll be thinking of you and wishing you the best,

If I lived nearby I would offer some help. Best I can say is been there, done that and I still have that tee shirt. Now my kids are grown and I have lots of time to just take care of me (oh I forgot - still have one child and I call him my husband.

I feel for you and wondered if there are any support groups where you live? Maybe someone at your child's school can help or switch with you to give you a break? My son is extremely ADHD and when he was younger I had a neighbor who would watch him a couple hours a week and I would take her daughter a couple hours a week. I hope you can get some relief 💜💜

Take micro minutes to BREATHE DEEP and hold it, and let it go. So sorry for so much stress all at once. Sending som positive vibes your way (and healing energy). Keep pushing, and you will emerge on the other side away from the fog. Hang in there, don't think a day at a time....think a minute at a time. Now BREATHE very deep. Hugs to you.

When you have a minute or two of quiet, you should see if the local library has a "reading time". As the person is reading a story to the group of children, you might have time to jot down notes to yourself (a check list per say) and that will help you release some of that internal stress.
Your getting healthy for you and them for not only now, but for thier future and one day "meet grandma".
Though you may feel and see yourself alone, rest assured you are not "emotionally" alone, as we all send our best for your future.
One step at a time and one pound a week would mean 52 pounds in one year !

Where do you live? If you live near me, I would be happy to help watch your kids so you can get some time for yourself. I have 3 kids of my own and I’m lucky to have my mother and mother in law live near by. I don’t know what I would do without their help! Sending you big ((hugs))

Dazey I admire how strong and resilient you are. Sending you hugs and prayers. If you were in my area I would babysit your children. Unfortunately I'm not but these are some websites where you can get help.

You can also check with your local church if there are volunteers to help you during this tough phase.

Hi there, Im not sure what side of the state is snowy, I have lived in the Black HIlls for 15 years and now live about 60 miles from Sioux Falls SD. The Sioux Falls side were I'm at now, it worse. The winds never stop blowing snow and the tempatures drop so low at night. Where are you located? Either way, I know people all through the state that would help you. Including me. Where are you?
