Long hot shower or bath while partner watches the kid. I do some of my best creative thinking in there. The rest I’ve done while the kid is strapped into a carseat they can’t wiggle out of, and I’m driving.

Jk….i take PTO days and drop my kids off at daycare. One to deep clean my house…another to sit in the stillness to enjoy my clean house lol. Gives me a temporary sense of control

See if family can help at all. Call in babysitters to help so you can get some sleep/rest. Try to delegate more and prioritize the high visibility and high learning working. Have a convo with your manager.

I feel like I'm in a vicious cycle. I'm exhausted all. the. time. No matter how much sleep I get, no matter how clean I eat.

I'm heavy and want to exercise but I'm fighting fatigue to even do work. Weight is coming off with clean eating so there's that. And so slowly.

I'm looking for and am going to go to an endocrinologist - I'm female and hitting 50 and a bit scared how badly the fatigue is.

Anyone where I'm at that have solid things that have helped?
