I am just feeling in over my head. Just seems that I have really messed everything up in my life. Work wise I am behind in so much, my marriage, husband is damn near the end of his rope with me, and has mentioned divorce, I have no personal life (work ). My mental health isn’t great. The more I try to catch up or fix things the worse it gets. I just feel like one. More. Thing. And it will break me into a jillion pieces. I should probably go to sleep. At least I wont make a bigger mess of things.

Pick one aspect that you feel is most important to fix, and focus there first. EAP/counseling can be tremendously helpful - whether it's marriage counseling, stress/anxiety management, work/life balance. Don't know where to start? Try journaling, meditation, or taking a walk to clear your head. Even a small first step will help things feel less out of control. When you're juggling a hundred balls, something will drop. Try to be intentional about what that is, so you don't drop what you care about most. ❤️

This is great advice! If you look at everything it might seem overwhelming but if you choose one or two things at a time it’s much more manageable. Be kind to yourself

Take a breath and create a manageable to-do list. Most of us aren’t in life-saving careers so what seems so urgent can use the contingency to be completed. If you need help, ask at work, at home, etc.

Have a peaceful home can help you feel more at ease in other things. Does your relationship need a reset with an unbiased party. Are the two of you willing to work through things together? Marriage is hard, there will be peaks and valleys. If you want things to be better, I do hope they turn the corner. 💕

Hi OP, sorry that you are going through this. I know the feeling. If possible, please take a break… work, relationships - everything is peripheral to your health.

During a discussion this evening regarding my employment he told me he wants a divorce. I am gutted. He seems fairly certain and confident of that decision. I am now shattered. Not sure there is a path back. 19 years. I am just lost and my soul is just so tired.

Wish that I did. We just moved across the country. No family, no friends. Thanks for thinking of me.

What house plants are NOT toxic to cats? I swear every time I go to buy a new plant and look it up it says “toxic to pets”. I have a dumb cane which I know is toxic but didn’t realize when I bought it so now I just keep it in the laundry room away from my cat when I’m at work but that means no daytime sunlight. Would like suggestions on which plants I can buy that are safe to leave alone with my cat 😸
