Hey everyone
First off, I’m a middle school teacher, have al almost 3 year old at home, and my husband is a trucker who is only home once a month. I’ve lived in this country almost 10 years, we moved across the country to a state where we knew no one in hopes of a fresh start. We have been here almost 3 years. I have met people through work and church so it’s not as lonely as it was.
I just don’t even know how to fix what is my life right now. I have so many responsibilities at school, things that I can’t change, school commitments, regular teacher stuff etc. I’m on my own with my daughter except once a month when my husband is home. I barely get an hour to myself, sometimes less. I feel like I get even less time with my daughter. We leave the house at 6:30am and frequently don’t get home until close to 6, then it’s dinner, and bed.
This weekend we had sewage back up in to the house, and urgent care visit for my daughter and tons of things that didn’t get done. Deadlines are looming closer and closer for things and I don’t know how to take a breath.
Sometimes I look st my life and wonder how they heck did I get here. Alone with a toddler, struggling to keep it together. I can’t even think straight sometimes. I’m just so tired and feel like I will never catch up.
Add in being very overweight and wanting to work on that, but I don’t hardly have time for the things already in my life, how can I add fitness, meal prep and all that in to it too.
I just don’t know what to do anymore. I’m on anxiety meds, the doctor thinks I have GAD which does not help anything in dealing with all this.
