Hello all! Hope you’re all okay!
My head is all over the place at the moment. I’ve been having such a good couple of weeks, passed my driving test and just come back off of holiday so I’ve been on quite a high lately. Came back home 3 days ago and now I’ve come crashing back down, I realised today that the whole time I was on holiday I did all the chores still as it was a self catering holiday, whilst my partner relaxed, he deserves it since he works a lot and doesn’t often get time off work and we enjoyed the time we had together, but then we came home and I’ve still had to do everything whilst he relaxed. I work too, just part time hours but I feel as though that’s always thrown in my face as an excuse for why I have to be doing everything, which is fair enough if I work less hours and my partners full time at work then I understand that I should take care of the home whilst he’s at work. However, I work Saturdays and he doesn’t and I still have to come home and do everything while he has his feet up, but I feel like what I do at home is under appreciated especially when his family make remarks about a little bit of dust that has gathered over a couple of hours or one dish has been left on the side. I feel physically and mentally exhausted by trying to keep everyone happy and push through everyday. I don’t think any of them understand how draining it is for someone with anxiety to just do the simplest task, let alone face work everyday when I feel like I am literally crumbling inside. How can I explain to them how I’m feeling in a way they can understand? Every time I try to explain it I either can’t find the right words, seem like I’m just moaning about things or they just tell me to ‘get on with it like the rest of us’ or get put down by my partners family....any advice please?
Thank you!
Chloe 🙂
