How to stop overfunctioning when no one else gives a shit
I won’t make a big long post, but I do too much for my family. It’s making me miserable. One person can’t be everything for everyone.
I’m starting to have physical health problems and this past week my doctor told me I need to stop. I’ve developed so many health issues in the decade since I became a mom it’s insane. I’m depressed and feel like a shell of a person. I act like a bitch all the time, and I’m in a constant state of overwhelm. I feel like I could get a week long break from my family, and it wouldn’t do any good. I love my kids, but I hate motherhood.
Sometimes I think the solution is just to divorce my husband and hope to God he will do 50/50 custody like he has said he will in the past. That’s the only way I can see myself getting my life back to any extent. I recently started therapy, but I am so tired of being miserable every day.
