Struggling with Exhaustion and Self-Care

I'm exhausted, just everyday I'm so tired, people don't understand how much basic tasks make me mentally exhausted and then I spend days trying ti recover from doing basic things, because I still cook and clean for my kids I'm told there is nothing wrong with me because I can do these things, yes I can but the toll it takes on me mentally is ridiculous, my kids are happy clean and healthy but when it comes to me I live in pyjamas barely brush my hair and can go weeks without washing it because I'm just so tired and the motivation for self care is non existent

I completely understand that. I haven't brushed my teeth in months, and it's incredibly hard to find the motive to do small tasks like that. I can't do my laundry or take showers frequently or sometimes even just preparing a meal drains me. If your mental health gets better, the rest of it probably will too. Just take care of yourself and don't overwork yourself. I'm always here if you ever need to talk 💕
