Stressed and sad

[Skylane2000]

I’m very stressed lately and feel overwhelmed. Im balancing a 40 hr job, being a full time student, full time wife, daughter, sister..... it’s all too much for me right now. I wish I could crawl in bed and sleep for a week straight and yet I still continue with my days... nothing I do for fun to distract me right now helps. I’m moving this week so it’s added stress to my mind. My husband tried to comfort me as much as he can but we barely have time for each other since we both work a lot to strive for something more stable. We had been living with my mom and her partner for some time like 2 years.... I think my mom is also unhappy with her life and she tries to put me down as much as she possibly can. She makes comments about my weight, clothes, body, marriage, just anything she can. She used to not be like this, before she remarried we were very close and had a strong bond and now all she does is judge me and tries to make fun of me . She also emotionally manipulates me to feel bad for not spending any time with my little sister even though I’m literally so busy and have expressed it to her so many times. I’m tired and I’m trying to be there for everyone and fill all my roles

Hi Skylane2000, don't allow mom's problems to become yours.

At 20 years old, you have more than enough on your plate right now.

Sometimes it happens that there are just not enough hours in the day.

Hopefully, it will pay off one day soon. I'm glad to Welcome you here.

We can help in cheering you on because it sounds like you are doing more

than a fantastic job on your own.

One thing I can suggest with your busy, busy schedule, is to allow at least 10

minutes of your day for some "me time". It is important to have that time to

regenerate your mind and body. Take care xx

Hi @Skylane2000 I'm so sorry you're feeling this way. You do have a lot on your plate and I can understand how difficult that can be. Try not to let this current situation get you down, as they say this too shall pass. Also maybe find a way to find a quiet time to talk to your mom about your relationship, as you said you did have a close bond before and a mother's love is so precious. I do want to encourage you to say strong, you sound like an awesome hard working young lady and I pray all things work together for good for you and you family. Sending you lots of virtual hugs ))).
