Anyone feeling overwhelmed?

Question

Between Christmas, baby and day to day running of the house.  I'm finding myself completely disorganized and overwhelmed to the point I just stop everything and sit on the couch.  I can't seem to keep my thoughts straight. I have tried sticpking to the lists I made, but more stuff says pops up.  Any tricks on staying focused and prioritizing???

Answer

A little bit, yeah. Mainly with cleaning my house. I already struggle to keep up with dishes and the floors daily so watching the, pile up is giving me anxiety. I’ve been debating getting a robot vacuum and maybe that would help a bit but I can’t bring myself to spend that kind of money on one. I have a list of things to get done, which is mostly laundry at this point, but like you said, things just keep being added. It’s a never ending list.. I’m so tired I don’t want to do any of it.

Answer

It is a tough time of year! Let's try and pick each other up ☺☺. I'm trying to focus on one thing at a time.. like right now I'm sitting in front of Wal-Mart waiting for the doors to open, hoping it's not crazy busy and all I'm here for is Christmas gifts... no thinking baby, just get xmas outta the way!!! I hope this works lol

Answer

Same here! I have mini meltdowns through out the day

Answer

My son is a December baby, my FIL is also,christmas , and I just took my finals lol. But idk i like being too busy to worry.

Answer

Focus on a day or week at a a time! I’ve been trying to do this too! My birthday was the end of nov, my son just turned 3 last week, then Christmas and New Years and then my hubby’s birthday a week before my due date. It’s all overwhelming but I’m finding that taking it in little chunks at a time is working for me. I’m not getting much done around the house other than essentials - dishes, laundry, cleaning toilets, vacuuming. I’m just hoping I have enough presents wrapped and ready to go for Christmas morning! 😬 if you need to take a step back and take a break, do it! Don’t stress yourself out and know that it will all work out in the end.

Answer

Yes! I haven't got my Christmas tree up, nor finished my Christmas shopping and now I've been diagnosed with gestational diabetes on top of it. So I have added appointments and blood sugar checking, monitoring what and how frequently I eat, plus exercising. Just realized today that basically next week is the last full week before Christmas... I'm starting to get very overwhelmed.

Answer

I'm actually pretty good with all the hecticness... more overwhelmed with the physical pain

Answer

I admire you for trying to do Christmas. We don’t have family around and my two yr old doesn’t really know what it is. So we are waiting until the babies come home to do gifts (I have a scheduled c section for the 23rd). But it’s going to be very small compared to normal

Answer

Same 😭 in between doctors visits, trying to finish the random baby things we need still, taking care of a house, working and finals I just feel like I can’t finish or dedicate 100% to anything l.
