[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel you OP. It’s like all the reserves I had that got me through the hustle and bustle of being a working mom just got absolutely depleted. Things are quasi-normal, but my gas tank hasn’t been refilled. I thought I was a fairly energetic/resilient person before. I used to get up at 5:30 am to exercise. Was always tackling house projects. Volunteered at my kids’ school. Etc. And now it takes every ounce of energy I have to do the minimum at work, keep the kids fed/bathed, meal plan, not fall too far behind at laundry. And this is with DH doing more than his share around the house. I am in therapy, but it feels like one more thing to do and I have no idea how to get back to the person I was before COVID. I was such a better mom before March 2020.[/quote]

I am in the same boat. I think I’m experiencing deep burn out and don’t know how to recover. [/quote]

DP here..  the above PPs really speak to me.  I don't know if I will ever recover enough to even think of a second kid :(  and time is not on my side :( :( :(

Obviously worse things in the world but just ugh[/quote]
