Overwhelmed

Hi there. I am a mom of 5, married 18 years, working fulltime, going to school fulltime and feeling really overwhelmed. Recently I feel like I am stretched super thin and wish I had a friend I could talk to. How can someone be surrounded by so many people and yet still feel so alone? Not sure but here I am.

When you’re a mom, especially with 5 kids it can probably feel like all you do is take care of others and all your energy and time goes into other people. Eventually you can feel like your losing yourself. If that’s how you feel just know it’s okay to not be perfect and remind yourself that everyone you’ve ever loved has good days and bad days. I feel most alone when I spend all my time in my head, repeating thoughts over and over. I find it helps when I say those thoughts out loud to someone even if they’re not nice. It’s important to be heard and to make yourself heard. Good luck
