Has anyone done therapy to cope when they went back to work?
This is for those who didn’t transition into working motherhood super easy. I’m really struggling, and I have been for the 7+ months I’ve been back to work. I want a career, I want a 401k, I want money for vacations and college, I really like my job. But like…I really want to be my daughter’s primary caregiver all the time (not ALL the time, but most of the time).
I really really struggle and I just started therapy. I thought that it would get easier as time went on but it hasn’t. I don’t really know what else to do and I can’t keep living this way. Has anyone else tried therapy? Did it help?
