[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What do you like?  Playing pickleball, throwing clay, crochet, saxophone, gardening?  You need to return to or start a new hobby.  Maybe you'll be able to join a group and meet people, maybe you'll just have time to focus on something else, something enjoyable.

It doesn't sound like quitting your job is what you need.  You've recently moved to a new area and it takes time to settle in.  So you need to work on that, and on yourself.  [/quote]

Op here. We’ve been in our new area for 3 years now, so it’s not new.

My problem is I have zero free time. Zero. My sleep is interrupted by DD every night. I wake up to caring for children, then go to work, then come home and care for children/clean until i collapse into bed. I don’t have time to shower every day, or sleep, or eat real meals. I don’t need a hobby. I need a break. I wish DH would help more or that DD would need me less but I can’t control those things. Quitting my job is feeling like the only alternative at this point. I don’t know how else to find some balance. The dual career household with kids with SN feels untenable to me and I’m struggling.[/quote]
