41, 2 young kids, LOTS going on. PHEW!
Hi Everyone!
Really reluctant to say I'm at a low point exactly but life is certainly piling on the stressors.
I am wondering where life I headed these days.
2 kids under 3, feeling demotivated, wife's mother has stage 3b cancer, I'm about to be diagnosed with Temporal Lobe Seizures (mild but still disturbing), WFH but miss the office and the people. Great wife but she's so "content" with mediocrity 🤣 which is a terrible thing to say because it sounds so insulting, but in reality I'm a type of jealous. Me on the other hand thinks life is short and I'm not sure how I got so tied down by things I LOVE (I really do love!) - financial security, a good wife, lovely kids, good neighbours, supportive (kind of) parents. But why doesn't it always feel good? Why does it all feel like a burden and a cage?!
Anyway. So much in my mind. What a way to introduce myself to a group!
Nice to meet you 😊
@sutiibu Hi. Thanks for introducing yourself! It sounds like you have a whole lot of different responsibilities and stressors on your plate. I'm sorry to hear about your parent-in-law's diagnosis. That's a scary, difficult road to walk.
I am a parent with kids at home, a stable marriage, and lots of relatives with various issues, so I can relate to much of what you are saying. Send me a message if you'd like to chat 1-1.
I hope you find what you are looking for here at 7cups.
