Confidence is at a all time low, not sure where it went

[Springisintheair80]

I’ll try to keep this short. I am in my mid 40’s, female, director in healthcare, recently married, and my middle and youngest are still at home (not many more years left 🥺). I feel as though everything is hitting me at once. I am sure perimenopause has something to do with this all but it is so frustrating. I have lost my confidence at work. I question all of my decisions. I don’t feel as though I have a person I can turn to there. I know that my anxiety and depression is affecting my new marriage (married winter 2024) because I don’t want to be intimate I feel pressure to do so. It isn’t fair to my husband but trying to figure out a balance to meet his need and my need to not feel pressured.

And to find my confidence at work again.

my middle is a senior in high school and I am worried about her…. On some days, it all feels too much.

I’m sorry you’re dealing with these emotions. I am also a working parent and it can be so overwhelming sometimes. Are you already seeing a therapist? This could be very helpful for processing your emotions. I also use the mental health hotline when I’m struggling with big emotions (this would vary state by state).

Hi dear and Welcome. Changes in our lives are always hard to accept.

But then again, Life is about changes or we don't grow.

You have gotten to where you are as Director of Healthcare because of

who you are. Don't allow these doubts to change you. You sound more

than capable of handling the different paths you are on right now.

We're here for you. Take our hand as we will walk the walk with you.

Never forget, You've got this new friend. I have no doubts. xx
