If you can take some time out on your own weither its to have a relaxing bubble bath or a night away. It is a hard thing and not many peole get looked after how they need or when they need and its even harder if your a parent. I hope things start to feel easier for you and you get the care you deserve. Just dont give up and keep trying to go forward.

I agree with Tab:) No one else can take care of us the way we need them to. People can do nice things for us, and it feels good when they do, but we must depend on ourselves, to truly get what we need. We have to make ourselves a priority. It is helpful to simplify, as much as possible. We need to schedule time, to do the things we need to reenergize. Sometimes we don't even know what helps us feel better, and we have to get creative figuring it out. I read a good book, go hiking, or play a game on my iPad... I have a glass of wine, or something chocolate, or cheese. If we make time for, and take care of ourselves, it is not a selfish thing... We become more able to take care of others. I understand your fatigue. My depression makes me feel that way too. I guard my time, because I know if I don't the depression can take over. Once we learn, what we need to do, to take care of ourselves, we can do more and more. More healing, and more when it comes to caring for others.
