For the first time in my life I think I am suffering from stress or something along those lines. I'm certainly feeling completely overwhelmed.
I have small children and we both work full time. I'm also studying. I'm under a bit of pressure at work - this in itself isn't stressing me out, but I am putting a lot of effort into my job for promotional reasons and I suppose I get frustrated every now and then.
The day to day at home can be stressful, trying to juggle it all - lately I feel entirely overwhelmed - the inability to keep on top of paperwork, household admin, the cooking etc - I can't really put my finger on why I can't seem to manage this stuff, but it just gets on top of me. I feel 'frozen' if that makes any sense - totally overwhelmed and unable to move with the weight of things to do on my to do list.
There are a few family issues going on in my extended family where I feel completely and totally let down, betrayed and targeted. I'm finding it hard to get past it. The issues involved were not major but I just feel really hurt and I can't seem to forgive and forget. My head is all muddled up about what to do - I suppose I should just let it go - but I feel like i'm being walked on. I feel like we were the target of bad mindedness masquerading as forthrightness and honesty. I did challenge the people involved but I don't feel like there was any real acknowledgement of the hurt caused. This hurt is evolving into resentment and I'm completely dismayed at myself for giving this saga the headspace it doesn't deserve. I want to get on with my life, concentrate on my family and be happy. I wouldn't say I'm not happy, I am, I just want to dust myself off and i can't seem to manage it.
Any advice or recommendations - yoga or something! i don't really have the time for exercise at the moment - but would I think I would benefit from something that I could direct my frustrations at! Any advice welcomed.
