Thanks @Cath62 - good to hear medication has helped out short term in the past. I would hope it won't be long term, as hubby and I have longer term plans in place to make his life less stressful (because this flows on to me, increasing my workload with the kids etc). But we're not there yet!
I practise yoga, journal, have taken up painting again and dropped back to part time work this year. I practise mindfulness and am so grateful for all that I DO have. I think this is where I'm thinking that this is currently bigger than what I can manage all by myself. I'm doing all the right things, plus some new ones. I'm being very kind to myself. But I just can't stop the way I am feeling!
Funny that you mention walking. I was shattered the other day, been up since 4am without a break. I had to get my eldest to footy training but the dog hadn't been walked, so I took the dog with us and did laps on the oval. I was surprised that I felt less tired afterwards (I was super-sleepy level tired driving there!). So I'm going to give that a go more on the bad days. Thanks
