Ive been told to “relax” and “chill” my entire life and it always feels bad, man. I have big feelings and big opinions and I feel like it makes people uncomfortable. And then I feel like I can’t really be myself in front of people, like I have to be a diluted, quieter version of myself.

I had someone at work tell me to “chill bro” when I was complaining about something. The interaction was small, but it just brought me back to that feeling of being too much.

How do you guys cope with being “too much”? Has anyone gotten to the point where they’re confident enough to face these situations with a “I’m not too much, this is just who I am” attitude?

I’m so tired. I hate meal planning. It’s the bane of my existence at this point. Hubby and I both work full time and have an 8 month old baby boy, and im just having such a hard time keeping up with meals and chores and work and spending time with baby…

What do you guys do for simple healthy dinners? My go-tos right now are baked salmon and veggies, rotisserie chicken and a salad kit, air fried chicken thighs and veggies, lazy shepherds pie (ground beef, spices, frozen veggies).

Help a tired mama out 🥲 I’d love to hear your ideas

Genuinely looking for answers here

Why am I so tired??

We have an 8 month old baby boy. We had a bumpy start when we was born but now he’s such an easy baby. Most notably, he sleeps through the night very consistently. Like, he goes down at 7:30, he gets a sleepy bottle at 9:30, then Hes out until 6am. So we’re a full nights rest almost every night

So why am I still so exhausted 😭 I’m so burnt out. Every day feels like a marathon and I’m just desperately trying to get to the end. And I just feel guilty bc I know there’s so many parents out here who aren’t getting sleep, and still get up every day and kick ass and get shit done, I feel like a subpar parent for still feeling so burnt out even when we have such an easy baby

I guess I’m looking for any other parents out there that are tired, no matter how much sleep they get …
