Sit down and evaluate your expectations of everything. Not in a negative way, but through curiosity. Are there ways you can lighten your load, even in small ways? Implement them. Remind yourself that raising children is a constantly changing thing, and some seasons are much harder than others. Practice presence over comparison. Understand that children grow, things change, and so does time demand. Find people who can help support you, if possible. Parents need breaks to reset their emotional, physical and mental load. This isn't a treat, it is vital for being a good parent. I am sorry you are struggling and hope you can find some solutions that bring you some relief soon. ❤️❤️❤️

Work on learning what you need support with and then asking for it. I've been on a journey of discovering these answers for myself. Each time I discover a new area that my executive functioning comes online, I look for the support I need and then convey it to those in my life who need to know. That's with daily tasks, meltdowns, knowing when I need rest, what overstimulate me, etc

So, in the military when you're overwhelmed, they taught us to "shrink our focus". What's today have to be, or the next hour, or just the next minute sometimes, but shrink your brain's aperture as a mechanism when it's literally too much. From there as a parent, especially while they're young, they are gonna demand your time and you're obviously a good mom, so you'll dig in for them inherently. Try to add yourself to the mix and look for "intentional whimsy" as in, windows or minutes or even just moments where you do something for yourself or let yourself get lost in a hyper focus. For me, what recharges me is actually learning and research. What looks like work to others (when I do it on MY own interests) invigorates and inspires me. From there, I would say let the time for you be the micro reward and the payoff pile up. As in, I may go down a rabbit hole and learn something real quick, but not have time to act on it, BUT, if I let it bounce around in the back of my head during times I'm not slammed, when I do get to sit down and do something about it, I'm actually better prepared and creative with it b/c that delayed processing as synthesized that thought or question into a deeper understanding by then.

Welcome to the curse of monotropism. We dont DO balance. If you have a corporate job, get familiar with your short-term disability options and virtual IOP programs through companies like Charlie Health. Aside from the kids, it's a 3 month break to reset and (honestly speaking) remask, so you can keep doing this bullshit.

I have downscaled a LOT. I think my adhd pulls me to do 80,000 things that I’ve decided are SO important and the autism makes me want to do it so perfectly. But I’ve spent at least six years now pulling back on those things and still haven’t found a place where I’m actually doing too little—even though I am doing and caring so much less about so many things. Also getting a hold of things that make me really reactive and calming those sensitivities has really helped. As has taking all transitions as times to not be concerned about anything as opposed to rehearsing in my head what comes next and/or examining all the things that just happened.

rest looks different for us, look at all the ways you can rest and feed your energy. energy management is probably the most crucial parts of avoiding burnout, which it sounds like your in. you can dm me if you ever want information about how to do that. I got your back 🩵

Something relatively simple you can start with is practicing gratitude. You probably already do this to some extent but the more of a positive mindset you foster the lighter you will feel. Count your blessings, not your burdens.

There's no finish line and there's no "right answers". Treating my own brain as a sandbox to experiment in as being a very freeing mental model as I've grown and healed from my late dx journey.

Put yourself on the back burner for the next 18 years like we all did.
