Overwhelmed
Hey everyone!
I recently became a stay at home mom again and I am a college student with two toddlers. I have been feeling completely overwhelmed, most of it due to feeling like the house isn’t organized or clean enough. I clean and re-clean everyday when the kids take their naps or go to bed, but it just doesn’t feel like enough.
I’m not sure why it’s bothering more me lately but it’s starting to put me behind on everything else along with the overwhelming feeling affecting my mental health. I literally get upset more if everything is piled back up, not organized properly, or that I have a million things to do. I know I’m just a stay at home mom now but idk why it just suddenly started to bother me. Has anyone ever experienced this before?

Yeah I feel like I clean but sometimes is just looks the same like I didnt do nothing but you know I try to take it slow I do one room a day if I’m feeling like it’s too much and my place is small but still with a baby idk it’s a new experience trying to get a routine. Or just managing everything and now I’m thinking of working from from but not sure if it’s the right decision since I do have to make food for my bd and me and do all the chores and cater to the baby and my bd. So I get you! Maybe try to get rid of things you don’t need make space and have less things to clean up. Idk but take it slow and always appreciate yourself for doing what you can!

@Angelica I’ve literally been trying to get back in touch with myself, like finding who I am again outside of a mom/wife. Even considering trying to make time for yoga (which I’ve never done). It is so hard because of the endless cycle of cleaning and trying to keep things organized, it’s driving me insane at this point 😅
