always having to feel like I have to be on the go

[kanzler1987]

on my days off, I always feel like I have to wake up ( like on my days I work or getting my daughter up for school) and go, like take a shower, get dressed and go, and than I don’t go anywhere as I can’t, I have no freedom and I did it to myself, I don’t drive, and I have to reply on people to help me get to the store or run errands and it is sad. I feel like my boyfriend hates it, even though some days he like oh I love it. I guess the point behind this, is I need help to relax and to organize when I need help with stuff and how to ask, and when to take breaks, and how to enjoy my time off ( I mean days off of work) etc etc. I feel very overwhelmed, unhappy and ugh. So please give me any advice would be amazing. Thank you all. Happy Sunday.

I don’t drive either. I found that taking breaks completely takes me out of the project I’m working on. so I divide the task into realistic manageable parts and then stop. if I feel like doing more after a while I’ll do another section of whatever it is I’m up to. if your bf says he loves driving you then that’s a wrap think no more about it.

There's nothing wrong with wanting to keep busy and active. But it sounds like you want to be active and independent and have some limits on the independence part. Maybe you can see if you can learn how to drive or use public transportation. I know some people that bike, and I personally prefer to walk to places when I can.

It sounds like you're overcompensating, choosing a part of your life and make goals is neccesary in each of our own lives, dedicating that time to yourself is important to feeling safe
