[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can you clarify the stressors?

It sounds like you aren’t presently a caregiver for elderly relatives, you have a spouse, and the bulk of your stress relates to two moody teens?

What am I missing?

Maybe get blood work to make sure your thyroid is working and nothing else is going on…because nothing you shared sounds out of the ordinary.

Try taking an iron pill and B12. Take vitamin D and get some fresh air and sunlight.

Get sleep, exercise, eat well, and don’t drink wine/alcohol.

My dh’s grandparents just died back to back after an incredibly hard year. My job is incredibly stressful, long hours and ever changing. I get almost no time off ( yes, looking for a new job) so even doctor appointments are tough to make time for.

I actually used to take walks. I don’t have energy for it anymore. [b]I do do a lot of yard work and home repairs.[/b] I don’t drink, never have.

The visit to my parents is a major stressor for me too as I am flight phobic and hate going back to my home country, the stress of being there and all the relatives. It is work. I understand some might be grateful but [b]I have done that 20+ times already[/b], and also found out I have to work while there.

As for parenting, it is a very difficult time for me, harder than little kids and I never had help with them.

I realize I am probably a total wimp compared to many women but this is how I feel.[/quote]
Drop the rope on yard work and home repairs, Jesus! Make your kids mow the lawn!

Stop the visits or cut way back. Make them shorter too.
