How to fix burn out?

I see you I hear you you’re not alone. I’m on the verge of burn out too. I’m hear if you wanna vent

I'm not a SAHM but I think we all experience burnout in some shape and form. Is your partner able to give you a break for some "me time?" Any family or friends? Can you get some fresh air on a walk? I think any opportunity to rebalance without your children is a huge help. If you can throw in a hobby at the same time, even better but the small things can be huge

@Melanie I could ask my husband, but if I'm being honest his mental health hasn't been very good the past couple months. He gets very overwhelmed with the kids very quickly. I'm worried that leaving him alone with them for longer than 20 or 30 minutes (long enough to take a shower) would cause a set back in his mental health progress. I've been putting myself on the back burner to try and help him, but I can feel a major crash coming. I just want to stop it before it happens.

I feel like I could have written this myself. I just feel like I'm starting on new all over again. Not getting enough sleep, sahm, everyday feels the same, find it very hard getting out of the house, very tired, the list goes on....

Have you thought about a change of routine or environment? I noticed my burnout was constantly doing the same thing. So I decided to try out something different like longer showers at night before bed and youtubing an activity that me and the kids can do but mainly something I can enjoy for once. Getting dolled up just to take a stroller walk around the neighborhood. Those things

Have you thought about building in ‘contained chaos’ time — like setting them up with a safe play area, or a sensory bin, or a movie, where you can literally just sit still nearby for a bit without needing to engage. It’s not perfect, but even tiny windows of low-pressure time can add up. Also, dropping the ‘extra’ stuff matters. Now’s not the time for activities or guilt about screen time. Right now it’s ‘keep everyone alive’ season, and that’s enough. And please don’t beat yourself up for snapping sometimes. Burnout isn’t a moral failure — it’s what happens when humans are expected to run like machines without a break

@Susie I wish I could like the last part of your comment a million times. I really needed that, thank you ❤️

Try to do meditation, when u out kids to bed at night snd done with cleaning, just sir down and try chakra meditation, we all moms feel burn out often, but this meditation unblocks energy or focus centres in ur body and will boost your mood and energy overall and you will feel calm and focus, it helps me a lot evey night . It is a magic ,you will feel it the first time u do, you'll even feel sleepy and heavy ❤️

If you can join something like the YMCA ours has an indoor playground and the y have a child watch center so I can go workout if I want to. I joined a children’s museum so my kiddo can run around and play there. We got a playset that has a couple slides for the house so I can sit outside while she plays. I put her in her high chair and give her stamps or crayons just so I can get a little break. Maybe while doing things like cleaning start listening to a podcast so you’re not always focusing and thinking about the house you can have one ear in and one out so the kiddos can still be heard. I listen to journey women it’s a Christian podcast. Or I listen to audiobooks. Hopefully you find something that helps! It’s easy to get burned out when you’re doing the same things over and over and repeating yourself over and over. Literally the definition of insanity 😆 but you got this! ❤️
