I am really stressed right now. I have too much uni assignments to do and I didnt get the extra support for this year I was promised. I struggle badly to do all the housework andadmin etc. at home as well as meeting the needs of my 2 kids who also have problems of their own too. I can't manage to do it all,but find trying to prioritise and do the essentials really difficult too. I do try but often it doesn't go to plan so then I just shutdown and don't do anything which makes it even worse.
I can't ask people to help me though. I can't even really explain what the problems are to them and if I try they just don't get it. I get offered someone to come in and do my cleaning but that would make me freak out that they were touching my stuff and moving it to the wrong place. They don't understand it would make me more stressed not less Also they don't get that I had a whole day to study but I did no work cos I got a 2 minute phone call in the morning but it took all day to recover from it and because it was unplanned get back into my normal routine for studying.
Even when i can just about manage to do the minimum so my life is functioning ok I am still under so much stress to just manage that just a small thing to them, like I can't park my car in my normal space and I start crying. No one understands that it wasn't just that because I think I am too good at pretending everything is ok all the time but I have nothing left to cope with small stuff cos actually im really stressed out all the time. How can I make people understnad this and how can I get some help that would actuallly work for me not make it worse?
