Expressing your feelings out loud is one of the healthiest things you can do. I say this as a nurse and a writer. Feel free to engage in this kind of sharing with us anytime. 🙏

Sending love and light your way.

Although I don't have such a huge workload, I am quite aware of the burnout and suicidal thoughts. And what you are going through reminds me of a friend who is a secondary school teacher, a mother & wife, teaches lessons outside of school, tutors students, has a wine brewery, and is studying for a BS online. As friends, we make space for her to just relax and vibe because she has a lot on her table. Oh, and last year into this year, her father had a health scare and moved in with her and her family.

I don't know if it's because we are taking on a lot instead of reducing or we've tied our worth so tightly to what we do but sometimes, all that can be done is to stop and allow of bodies to release that pent up energy.

TLDR: love and light from the edge of the Atlantic.
