Is mom burnout real?

This is exactly how I've been feeling. I never realized that when I became a mom that would be my full identity. I've totally lost what I used to be, just to be "mom" now. The days go by so slow but at the same time I feel like I'm never doing everything I need to. I'm thinking I need to get an hour or two a week totally to myself even if it's just to sit outside or write in my journal. Maybe you could work something like that out with your husband?

I've been a new mom for 2 months now and I kinda feel the same. Of course i don't have nuch experience as u do, but i do be feeling lost and that i can never get much done and then i get upset and feel guilty after. Ik a newborn requires lots of attention, but im a person who like to get stuff done at the moment and not feel rush and also have time to my self. All i can say is try to take atlease 1-2 hrs to ur self and best time to do it is in the morning before starting ur day or before ur kids wake up. Also going back to work will definetly help you and ur family. Also try atlease to take 1 day a week or two to have a alone time with ur husband.

Yes, I feel like this plenty of times. Sorry you're going through this 😟 you know what I've started doing? Stopped taking myself so seriously. Let the house be a little more messy and the kids be a little more dirty. I started taking more time to myself to do things I enjoy bc I need things too. I started letting my husband know, hey, I need you to take care of bath time tonight bc cleaning these dishes will make me feel better and I want to rest along with everyone else at the end of the day. So do what makes YOU feel good and you will be happier, so will your family. Be patient and be gentle with yourself. 🙂 you got this!

Of course. I think as mom's we have all felt that way. I feel like I'm going through it now... I leave work, do the pickups do the cleaning, the laundry, etc and don't have any time to do anything for myself without one of the kids attached. Husband also works fulltime and I work 50+ hours a week and am the boss so no room to have adult, personal conversation and vent as I like to maintain my personal life separate from my employees so I would say definitely, yes.

I completely see where your coming from. My Fiancé works 60 to 70 hour weeks every week and when he gets home all he wants to do is relax which I can understand because his job is VERY demanding. For me though it seems like I’ve lost myself and I just do the same things every single day and I feel like I need a break

You are not alone in this feeling! I was just telling my husband how my home literally feels like a prison and how I have no self identity beyond mother and house maid. I love my children, but mothers still deserve to be human beings and have lives apart from our families

Same here, feeling lonely all the time tried working around the house from 8 to 8 with no help, starting to feel very angry about every thing also having a panic attacks every other day.
Being an immigrant i don't have family or friends even to talk too,husband does nothing playing video games after work all the time, i actually i am living with 4 little kids 😁 ,god will help us giving us more patience and power to keep up for our little humans that what i keep tilling myself.

I feel like this all the time! I honestly have just started getting back into the workforce after 10 months as a sahm because I was going crazy. I'd have massive mood swings and burnouts which weren't good for anyones mental health in the house, especially my 2 under 2. Even if it's only part time, having something that is just yours and comes with adult interaction is lifechanging

I am recovering from adrenal fatigue, and it's a real physical thing as yall know. It does get better, with rest, I promise!
