Toxic environment

I am an fms warrior of 10yrs now and other long term health issues. I don't work anymore as my illness took that away from me. I have turned into a "quote lazy nag" according to a daughter who only sees me 2 times a week and then sits in the chair on her phone while I entertain my grandchild who is 2 when they visit. A very lazy teen who refuses to help me in anyway but to create chaos and a hubby who chooses to see me do the work and hear me moan because I'm tired, sore and fed up of no-one helping me keep on top of the housework. We have 2 dogs that need attention but because I'm home all day it's assumed I will walk them in an evening because my husband has been working all day prefers to come home and let me run around. As a result I'm constantly tired, in pain and depressed. How can I have mental capacity to just let go of the stress?

I feel like this sometimes and a career has been taken away from me because of my health conditions. It’s soul destroying. For me I try to do things that make me happy in life and try to chill out as often as I can. Have you tried meditation? I find that is good for stress. Also a wall of you feel up to it to clear your head. Every day is different with fibromyalgia so take it a day at a time xx

Thanks AllthatGlitters I have got (mind set) on my phone but I'm just to tired to attempt a look. Meditating, I think you have to be able to relax before it can benefit. I could maybe look into it. I drink herbal tea at night so I can sleep better. Could do with learning to shut off. Thanks 😏

Sometimes I think it would good if you could go away for a while because when nothing domestic gets done others might actually realize how much we actually do!
