in Mamas with depression, anxiety, and other mental health disorders

I don't know if I can do this!

I am so overwhelmed and feeling like giving up. I have 2 toddlers jumping off the table onto the floor, a downstairs neighbor beating on her ceiling (our floor) because my kids are being too loud, and I'm writing a paper for school. I've kept quitting on my education since 2017 and I'm so close to my degree I want to push through. After work I come home, get kids a snack, and they refuse to do any independent play, so it's constantly stopping writing papers so I can attend to their needs. It is so exhausting and draining! Even the tablet/TV is not interesting to them! Like, what kid doesn't watch a tablet or TV?! Apparently, mine. I wish they were older and I had some help so this wasn't such a horrible challenge for me.

I am in the same position mum if 4 and final years of uni and I feel like I can’t keep up and have no one to talk to about it

Do you know any tweens that you could use as a "mommy's helper". My niece, who's 11, comes over when I need to get stuff done. She is able to entertain the kids while i can breathe for a minute. Lol. She would do it for free, but I pay her anyway (but it's way cheaper than a real sitter).. just an idea?

I hear you mama. I’m on the same boat. My toddler is nuts and he’s just jumping off the walls while I’m trying to not break down

@Megan definitely so hard to keep up.

@Clarlie I have a 15 year old that won't help with them at all. I don't know any teens that would help with them or be able to handle both of them. They are both autistic.

@Jessa yes, having toddlers is so difficult.

I'm sorry! Sounds like you're getting no help at all!
