@alexandraoverwhelmedmom: Parenting in survival mode is when you’re struggling to manage daily responsibilities and maintain your well-being, often feeling overwhelmed and exhausted. It’s characterized by: 1. Constant Exhaustion: You’re running on empty, with little energy left for yourself or your family. 2. Overwhelm: You feel like you’re juggling too many tasks, leading to chronic stress and anxiety. 3. Short Temper: Your patience is thin, and you find yourself getting frustrated or angry more easily. 4. Neglect of Self-Care:Your own needs and well-being are put aside as you focus solely on managing daily responsibilities. 5. Isolation:You may feel disconnected from friends and support networks, struggling to find support or understanding. 6. Lack of Joy:You’re just going through the motions of parenting without finding fulfillment or joy in the process. In this state, the focus shifts from thriving and finding balance to merely getting through each day, often at the expense of your own health and happiness. #overwhelmedmom #momburnout #momhealing #momstruggles #momguilt #survivalmode
