Anyone else burnt out all the time?

I’m a newly single mum for almost three months now and struggling so much. I just feel tired all the time trying to keep everything together for my child. Now that the holidays are around I’m scared I’m going to break as I just want to sleep all day to have any energy I can get for my child. His dad is in the picture but not as often as I’d like him to be specially when our son is unwell and wants his dad. And I do have people around to help I just feel like a burden constantly asking for help when I’m tired all the time.

Im burnt out and my baby is only 7 weeks. I just constantly feel exhausted but at the same I can’t get my mind to switch off on night. My husband works nights and is asleep during the day so I’m doing a lot of it myself, that’s if I’m not dropping him off to my mums for a few hours and when I do that, I instantly feel guilty and miss him

Same my lo is almost 5 weeks , I’ve been a single mum since 20 weeks pregnant and have moved to my parents for the newborn stage. I welcome the help but then feel guilty that I don’t know enough / or am doing enough for my child .. and am already thinking about how I will do it alone

Definitely!!! Been single since my little one was 4 months old, hw turned 1 2 weeks ago and I returned to work bout 2 months ago and it's hard core... I'm constantly tired and prior to having him only had about 5 sick days in 5 years and suffered with migraines since being back.. he's currently poorly with a cough and cold and keeps spiking a high temperature of nearly 40 and I've got a bulging eardrum which I had to go to a&e for yesterday and yet I'm still up and going to work cos I don't want to not show willing 🙈😔 luckily he's with my mum today and I know he'll be OK but the pull to do everything is exhausting!!!! Xx

Yes, absolutely resonate with your post. I’ve been single since I found out I was pregnant, little man is 15months now and I hold it together for him but I just wanna cry all day

@Phoebe same. Mine is 9months . But you know what?? We’ve got this💪🫶
