[quote=Anonymous]I'm just tired.  All the time.  And if I take time for a "me break", even if it's something as inconsequential as watching stupid HGTV or reading a magazine after my kids are asleep, then there's something else that hasn't gotten done, that's going to keep me up later or that I'm going to worry about not having finished.  I don't think I ever gave enough credence to how tiring worrying is.

Both my kids are SN, but one is fairly mild and the other is on the lighter end of moderate.  Right now we aren't doing too many extra appointments (but I really need to get both kids back seeing therapists) and life is generally fairly routine with our meds stablized.  Even with that, we have some sort of IEP or other meeting with administrative staff every 2-3 weeks, and every time I work myself up with worry for a week then can't wind down when it's over because I'm so busy dissecting.  I'm constantly on guard as to what's happening in school and can Little Johnny handle this field trip, and everything and I'm just tired.

And, comparatively, my SN kids are in less time consuming places right now and I'm still feeling wiped out.  I hear you OP, it's exhausting.[/quote]
