I am just so tired of being the default manager of my household.

I am sitting here tonight just feeling completely fried. It isn't even the physical work of cleaning or taking care of the kids that has broken me down, it is the non-stop mental energy it takes just to keep track of absolutely everything.

I feel like a project manager for my own life, but I never get to clock out.

I am the one who has to anticipate every single need. I have to remember the doctor appointments, notice when we are running out of groceries, track the daily schedules, and constantly plan three steps ahead. Even when my partner asks how to help, the mental energy is still on me. I still have to think of the task, delegate it, and follow up on it.

The cognitive overload and constant brain fog are getting so bad. I permanently have 50 tabs open in my head and I can never just turn my brain off to breathe.

I honestly wish there was an actual way to offload this mental baggage because carrying this weight alone is getting so heavy. How are you guys surviving the overwhelm lately?
