Hi everyone, I'm Claire, a 35-year-old working mom of two. Lately I've been feeling really overwhelmed and anxious, especially about my health. Between work deadlines, the kids' schedules, and trying to take care of myself, I feel like my mind is constantly racing. I've been getting frequent tension headaches and having trouble sleeping. I recently stopped taking an antidepressant (under my doctor's guidance) and I think that may be making things worse. Does anyone have tips for calming an overactive mind and finding some mental peace? I could really use some advice on stress relief and self-care routines that actually work for busy moms. Thanks in advance!
As a busy mom myself, I find meditation and deep breathing exercises incredibly helpful. Even 5-10 minutes a day can make a difference. Also, don't be afraid to ask for help and delegate tasks. Self-care isn't selfish; it's necessary for your well-being and your family's.
