[quote=Anonymous]Oh, OK, I hear you. A couple things to think about.

Really ask yourself if you lost your life tomorrow, what on your to do list would you even care about?  Really do less. It’s OK not to have the cleanest house or the best dress family or whatever.

I say this because I had a family member passed away unexpectedly in her 40s last year, and it really put things in perspective for me.

Also, you are probably approaching perimenopause in your 40s, and it really does stuff to your mood. I would agree to get a health check up and to be evaluated for depression and other mood-based feelings.  We are not good with dealing with perimenopausal women’s health or feelings in this country.

Lastly, asked for more specific help from your husband and kids. If you’ve always done the laundry, question and say hey, I can’t handle this anymore, I need you all to pick up some slack.

Also, we get giant Peapod groceries delivered every week, and it is the best money. I spend all week, mainly because it saves me two hours of shopping. Not because it’s the best choices or options, but it is so much easier than spending two hours at the store.

Also realize that you may be being too hard on yourself. Step back and give yourself some grace and slack.
