Exhaustion is hitting different

I had my first baby at 18. It was a breeze. We had issues but it was not exhausting. Second baby at 24 and being pregnant was hard. I didn't get to experience life with him because he was still born. Next child was born when I was 25. I was so worried she wouldn't make it but I was exhausted I also worked 50+ hours a week at a physically demanding job. I had my next at 27. Less demanding job and the exhaustion want as bad. Unless my husband put the two youngest on his sleep schedule. Now I'm 42, my baby is 6 months old. I work part time but also am a treasurer for a non profit. My husband works nights. I seriously am so dead tired all the time. I will say I think a lot of it is my mental health. I've struggled with depression since my son was stillborn. And then my oldest was murdered in 2021. Both died in October 2005 and 2021. I'm so scared that my children will die that sometimes I can't sleep. I will say October has always been a complete crap shoot for me. My husband is hoping since baby was born in October it'll be better for me. But the exhaustion is just a lot

I’m so sorry about your 2 kids

Sending a big hug to you and praying for you may the joy of seeing your baby grow helps you see the month of October a little differently 🤗

I’m so sorry to hear of your losses ❤️ I cannot begin to imagine what you have been through

So sorry to your loss. Please see if therapy is possible for you. Trauma is real and can affect everything in your life and body. Take one day at a time and try to do at least one thing a day that helps YOU.

I’m so sorry for your losses and that you’re going through a hard time. I pray that God eases your life tasks for you and provides sustenance and peace in your heart ❤️ sending you many warm hugs from cold Northern Ireland 🍀
