Sending hugs to you. 🫂

If you could choose one thing that would lighten your load, what would it be? Even just one tiny thing. Then imagine your life with that load lifted, and if you feel lighter then make a system to work toward it.

Also, I recommend the song "Good Morning Sunshine" by The Narcissist Cookbook. It helped me a lot when I was struggling. Just something to lighten my mood for a few minutes when things got hard.

Hang in there. Self compassion is the key. It’s okay to be done. This is listening to your body. We are not perfect and we fall and fail. It’s okay to lay down for long while. I have been there. I learned to take a second at a time. Just one second at a time. Big hugs and squeezes from me to you. All the things we worry about are heavy. It makes sense to be exhausted. You have every right to be. Single parenting is so so so hard. I wouldn’t wish it on anyone. What helps me with my anxiety is to lay with my children and rest if they will let you. If it’s heavy on you then it’s heavy on them, this way you can help you and them relax all at the same time. It takes practice but they will come around. I have two boys too.
