There are lots of parents on here that have children with special needs and chronic illnesses that would trade a couple of trips to the ER for the never ending worry about their child being able to live independent or possibly having a shortened life span. We all have issues, including parents and children.

Please, There are a lot of horrific things in the world but it does not mean what OP went through is not traumatic for her and her children. It is ok for her to be overwhelmed.

OP, my advice is to try and give your body some time to destress. More sleep, nourishing foods, vitamins and supplements etc. Try and exercise or meditate. Turn off the news and electronics. Say no to social obligations or reach out to friends to take your kids to various activities etc. Hire some cleaners to clean your house. Outsource chores for some time.
