Do you ever just get tired?

Do you ever just get tired? td7629: I really can't vent about my ex anymore.. he has done what he has done and I am totally over the whole thing.. I could care less what he does with his life from now on. I have accepted the whole thing and I am actually much happier now.  However, being a single mom of three boys is really very difficult.. I am constantly on the go with either work, homework, projects, practices,sleepovers, playing taxi to my sons and their friends, cooking, cleaning etc. It does frustrate me that he basically got to just walk away and create a new life for himself and left me to raise them by myself.
Some days it is just so overwhelming.. and I just get so tired!  Does anyone else feel like this? Does it get any easier?

Re: Do you ever just get tired? hr: TD, I so feel like you do. I am just so exhausted lately. I really don't give two shi..s about what my ex is up to. I no longer have my foggy glasses on about my marriage. It went south a long time before it ended. I am raising the kids now and sometimes lately I just don't have the desire to get out of bed in the morning. I think 5 out of 7 days in the week I am happier than I have ever been so I wonder what is causing this exhaustion.

It probably didn't help having to sit at the ER for 3 hours last night because my kids were fighting and one got hurt. I thought I was going to fall out of the chair. I guess overwhelming = exhaustion.

I have no advice for you. I understand where you are coming from though. If anyone else has any tips to help with this please post them.

I'm still in the hurt and upset phase of my ended relationship. However, I do think a lot about what happens next. I do think about what happens after I get over it. I think about all of the extra burdens I have to bear. I think about all of the extra effort and work as a result of the end of the relationship.

It makes me tired thinking about it. It makes me angry all over again, and wishing I could start venting. I want to just flip out and throw things and break things. I want to have sex with a million hot chicks and send their pictures to my ex. I want to get drunk and pass out in the gutter. I just let myself lose it a little. Just to myself ( well and this post).


It sounds to me, like what you need is to get out and boogie. Have a friend watch the kids, and then stay in, treat yourself to a bath and a movie, or go out and read in the park or do something that will revitalize you.

Re: Do you ever just get tired? sparks: Yes, I absolutely feel the same.  My ex moved to a different country so I am going it alone with two kids.  I wouldnt have it any other way but it does get overwhelming at times.  I sometimes feel I dont have 2 minutes to myself.  I have learned to take care of my self though.  I dont feel guilty hiring a babysitter to watch the kids for a little while, or take a day of leave while the kids are in school just to take care of myself.  Hang in there.  Before you know it they will be grown.
