[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you should get your thyroid tested, if you haven't already. Take vitamin D. It sticks out to me that you are exhausted now even while on break. That seems like a sign that quitting your job alone would not solve this.

How can you get more time for yourself? Let's assume you need to regain an hour a day for exercise or personal time. What is possible? Could you hire more help, or could your kid watch TV with DH? Hire cleaning help? Teach the 6 yo to do more? You need to save yourself, here.

Op here. My vitamin d levels are low but not super low and I’ve been treating that for several months now. I’ve noticed zero difference. I’m also taking antidepressants and adderall.

My DD has zero interest in screens, unfortunately. We even got her a brand new iPad for Christmas and she won’t use it for more than a minute or two at a time.

Some people have a lack of motivation from Adderall.  Do you have a good relationship with your psychiatrist?  Could you try a different medication?[/quote]

Op here. I’ve been working with a psychiatrist for 6 months to get to this drug combo. I only take the adderall a few times a week to help me work and cope with sleep deprivation. My motivation isn’t the problem, I don’t think. It’s just the workload/demands of my life feel bigger than what I can rise to.[/quote]

In your OP, you wrote a lot about what you're doing, your responsibilities, your job, everything that you're handling.  But you didn't say anything about your friends, your family beyond your immediate family, your interests.  What are the good things that you do or would do, given more time or flexibility?  Meet Jenny for coffee?  Have lunch with your mother?  Go on a date with your DH?  [/quote]
