[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have nearly 5 and 3 year old boys. They are extremely active and high energy so being home 24/7 has been difficult despite having a backyard (no swing set but we do have a trampoline) and taking daily walks around the neighborhood. DH is an essential employee so he is still reporting to the office every day. And his job is hanging by a thread. The days have been extremely long and I am just at the end of my rope by the afternoon and just feel like the meanest mommy by then. I think I should return to my Zoloft rx to get my anxiety under control but then I’m worried if I get sick I won’t be able to take cough medicine as there’s an interaction from what I understand. Is that hangup just anxiety in itself? I feel terrible. My kids are angels. My husband is a saint. I don’t deserve any of them. How are you fellow parents (especially those alone with the kids) coping with this? [/quote]

Your reactions to this is perfectly normal. You don't need medication -- there is nothing wrong with you. Everyone is having a really hard time right now. You're normal.[/quote]
