I feel bad that I’m super grateful little foster child is in school today while I’m home on my spring break.
All parents feel this. Most parents feel guilty about feeling this. But it’s absolutely normal. Parenting is work - rewarding, no doubt, but work nonetheless. And we all need breaks from work.

I am so exhausted I want to cry.
My spouse has insomnia regularly. And since paramedics shattered his shoulder 10 months ago, he is in constant sporadic pain. It is so so hard to sleep next to someone who keeps twitching and murmuring, especially when you know they’re taking comfort from your presence.
But I woke up an hour before my alarm and I have a headache already from the stress and I have to go to work and I’m so tired from his restlessness. I want a hug.

As someone who also sleeps next to someone with chronic insomnia, I feel for you. It’s so exhausting.

County offices and everything takes so damn long on their end, but when they need something and you don’t jump through every hoop you are called uncooperative. Even when it’s hoops they have only told you about and not set up yet. Meanwhile watching your child wait on important help they need because of it.
Words. Cannot. Express. My. Rage.

You don’t have a fever nor are you throwing up.
Sorry sweetheart, OFF TO SCHOOL. -
I know this is just a meh sort of thing and it effects everyone, but still. I’m tired. All the time. Like mentally and emotionally tired. I am really good at masking (which I suppose also makes me mentally and emotionally tired), but dang.
I don’t know if this is older getting to me. I remember those people sitting around the table talking about being tired. Now I’m those people. Or if it’s depression. Or just you know how it is.
It’s not ending my life, but it is killing my motivation to do anything.
That’s it. I’m just tired.

The biggest thing impacting people, both (diagnosed) mentally ill and not, who see me professionally (am therapist, much counselling, wow) is just…
The world be the way it is, and it’s shit for a lot of us. You’re definitely not alone in feeling the way you do. I’ve got all these tools and all this training, and it still just sucks.

@RightMeow I have felt this the past two months, my motivation is gone lately and all I want to do is sleep. I keep putting one foot in front of the other, but sometimes I just don’t want to.
I hope things look up for you, and motivation returns sooner rather than later.

I do not enjoy my schedule forcing me to cram the RP in but such is life.
