Not sure what to say right now....

Hey Jay. I'm sorry to hear that you're overwhelmed. It sounds like you are experiencing a bit of burnout- especially right now it's so understandable. Maybe you could do something like a meditation day where your partner can watch your kids? Or a home pamper spa day with everyone? Either way I'd definitely suggest talking to your partner about how you feel because it's important and you deserve to feel less burdened by the feeling that you can't keep up. I can relate to that a lot. I hope things get better for you soon and you can get some good rest. It sounds like you're trying really hard.

Hi @ArraDreaming

I think everyone gets feelings of overwhelm from time to time especially at the moment with COVID. I wonder why you feel like you're not keeping up with everything being thrown at you. Your little adventure sounds great and sounds like you were very present during that time with your son and partner.

When I feel overwhelmed I take some deep breaths, and get myself back to the present moment maybe by doing the 5 senses exercise or I will write it out in a journal as I find writing things down helps me to figure out what is most important at that moment in time.

I hope this has helped in some way.

Take care.

Hi @ArraDreaming

Sounds silly I guess but I've never heard of life admin tasks. I'm wondering though (after googling it) does writing a list help at all?

Take it easy!
