It’s Thursday, I’m sleep deprived and I feel dead, even after a large cup of coffee. I just want to shut down my laptop, curl up, take a nap and wake up on Monday. Does anyone else feel like this? How do you get out of the slump?

Teaching has taken over so much. I’m a wife and mother and still have a home life, but there is nothing outside of work and home. I have no friends, no other activities, no escape. Covid restrictions do not help. I know it’s not healthy to only focus on everyone else, but I’m not sure what to do about it. I have only sporadic time opportunities and I don’t even know what I enjoy doing anymore. When trying to do other stuff I can’t turn off mom or teacher brain.

Sometimes it feels like I can't tell dreams vs memories apart bc my dreams are so vividly realistic but my life memories are fading/slipping due to suppression (not talking about them, not reliving them) and mostly since becoming anti-social after some PTSD events and growing up hyper independent. Most of the time I question if something I "remember" happened in real life, or if it was something from a dream.

Has anyone else experienced this? Do I need help? How do I ask for help? Who to ask?

Told a friend of mine in tech I was considering moving to BCG. He asked me if I would have to move to Boston.
