I understand what you are experiencing.
I opted for other option which reduced my income but it have me time and is helping me with taking sometime for myself.
I left my organisation because I already was given an intimation about my performance.
I took a month off and started working as freelance consultant. 9+ yrs into my domain helped me gain quickly the reaction i needed to start off
The income is less but the work is as per task/project. Income is reduced but time management is better ( considering we need to go counselling/courts and also sometimes for kids )
The gig initially was struggling but I am getting more comfortable with that.
Now coming to mental aspect I suggest you take help from whatever sources possible. Mental counselling, family support, friends so that you can stay strong which will eventually drive you through this.
Looking after kids will be a task as they struggle more. So keep an eye on them and don't try to blame your spouse for anything.
It can backfire from both sides. Just mention that it's not working anymore and there should be no blame or drama involved. Lesser the noise better the sailing.
Let them adapt and also narrate a positive aspects and help them with their needs.
It’s honestly very difficult. Try talking with people about what you are going through on your off times to let it out. Find time for physical activity as well, your mind will thank you releasing some tension. Then, focus on your kids and know that you doing well at work will be good for them. Above all, make good decisions with regards to drinking and other drugs, remembering they are technically depressants and usually will compound negative feelings and thoughts. Best of luck to you in a tough situation!!
See a therapist so you can talk in a safe space. Also get out your feelings of frustration and anger in a fitness class like boxing or spinning or some sort of aerobics. If budget is a factor try jogging on your own to get fresh air.
I’m so sorry. I am going through the same - four months in. I take the time that I need. I don’t put pressure on myself to be the high performer I usually am. On one particular rough day I just took a PTO day. I did tell my boss what was going on and some did caution against that and I guess it depends on your situation, but he’s been so amazing about it and super supportive. There’s no right answer on how to handle this aside from do what you need to stay afloat, not get stuck in despair and don’t count yourself out. As cliché as it sounds, you’ve got this. Positive self talk is so important during this time.
