[quote=Anonymous]I agree that OP should start looking for another job, but that can take an indefinite amount of time.  In the meantime she needs suggestions on how to deal NOW.

I only have one child (15 months) and I feel the same way as you.  It is so hard trying to balancing work and life. Like you, I often had that feeling like I was drowning and was going to go under at any moment.  It created such feelings of dread, fear and hopelessness.  I eventually went to see a therapist who helped me realize I was struggling with post partum depression.   I was depressed, but anxiety was an even bigger problem.  My therapist referred me to a shrink who agreed, and put me on a low dose of Zoloft.  It has helped me SO MUCH.  Now that my anxiety is under control, I am still stressed and get overwhelmed sometimes, but I feel so much more in control.  I think I am better at everything - I'm a better mom, wife, lawyer and friend now that my anxiety is under control.

If you really feel like you are drowning and are going to go under, that sounds a lot like anxiety.    I recommend you see someone to talk about it.  Meds could really help you like they helped me. [/quote]
