trying to manage day to day task and not get overwhelmed

[Rocknroll2]

I just want to be able to manage my daily tasks and appointments without getting overwhelmed. Also be good mother on top of it all. To not forget what I have scheduled.

Hi rocknroll give your self the credit for what you've achieved so far you've not come this far with out being a great mother ! Regarding remembering appointments and tasks try by putting them on a calender or on your phone ! I wish you all the best take care !

I just replied to another person about thinking and memory issues. Things had gotten really bad for me lately and getting worse. Scared, anxious , depressed, and so unmotivated i could barely do anything. I read an article that talked about some people being like an ostrich and putting their head in the sand. Thats what i felt like. And any kind of time commitment or schedule was too much for me. I was overwhelmed. I didnt know how i could go on or see my way out of it all.I tried breathing, mindfulness, remembering past horrible times that i had survived, the "lies depression tells you" and that feelings are just feelings that come like a wave and cant really hurt you. They do go away. I tried all the tools i had learned over the years. It was horrible, but i am actually doing a little better now. Somehow i seem to be getting through it. I guess this is what people with depression an anxiety do. I isnt easy or fun, but it is survivable. And you will get thru it too.

And being a mom isnt easy either, but it is very important and rewarding. Moms are special people.

Yes that's fair enough. Being a good mother is difficult I was going to read Still Born about motherhood struggles. It's so difficult to get stuff done to look after the child to look after yourself. Never mind diplomatic discipline helps me then whoever round me has benefit of well oiled machine. I'm basically machine but that's ok or guinea pig, remember I must take the rough with smooth in an imperfect world. Best of luck .....
