[quote=Anonymous]OP I was just about to do my own burn out email about having no support from family other than my husband, needing the patience of a saint which I don't always have doing backflips to make things OK and how I just have nothing left. Thank you for your email.

It's not pointless. I try everything you can handle. I have been there many times, and then something happens-sometimes something so small and sometimes something big and it makes it worth it.

Some videos that help me...Kerry Underwood "The Champion" for the special olympics and Katy Perry "Rise" for the olympics.

I have also had to distance myself from those who bring me down and drain me- and sadly that was a lot of family. They want grandchildren who will attend ivy league schools and bring them bragging rights. The final straw for me was being called "selfish" when I was too busy with my child's interventions and medical issues to help my wealthy mother with something she easily pay someone to do.

It['s about survival. I exercise and eat healthy to keep myself from having a nervous breakdown. I see friends and watch funny mini-videos to keep myself resilient. I set boundaries and distance myself from emotional vampires to keep myself strong. I celebrate even the smallest victory. I keep a sense of humor. I fall many times, including earlier today and then i get right back up every.single.time because I want to know I did my best. I do what I can handle-I allow myself grace and remind myself I cannot burn out by doing too much.

Rest...give yourself grace, then dust yourself off, get back up and get back your fight. We are cheering you on![/quote]
