[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You're burned out. Reset some this weekend and come back with a plan to change something practical to take something off you.

Your DS is a dud? OK but you keep being kind and supportive when you spend time with him and let him work through his grouchy teen problems himself. Make a dr's appointment for your daughter to have her stomach pain checked. Chances are the doctor will determine as you already suspect that it's anxiety and will discuss this with your daughter with ideas she can use to address it herself. Have one lunch or tea or catchup chat scheduled with your mom each week. Let her know that you'd like to make this a calendar date because she's important to you. What scheduling does is actually giving you mental space the rest of the weekdays to not feel guilty about not spending more time with her. Be nice to DH but he can manage for himself at this point in time because you need more space to breathe right now.

Make a list of small things you enjoy like a podcast or a certain drink. Fit those in when you can. Make a list of bigger things like taking yourself out for coffee, signing up for a weekly exercise class, update your resume. Put those on your calendar and follow through.[/quote]
Great advice![/quote]
