From Burnout to a Fresh Start.

Burnout is trending across social media as a mood that we embrace to cope with overwhelm and loss of interest in what we once deemed good. To overcome it, we tend to put a band-aid on the cuts- but they’re too deep to not properly treat. So, how do we treat these wounds? Most importantly: when we are exhausted from life and when it is time to reevaluate, where do we start?

By deconstructing yourself, it is possible to see how multi-faceted and important you truly are. We all have roles in the realm of our mental reality and what we perceive as our physical world. Some of us are mechanics, some of us are teachers, and some of us are retirees. We are childless bachelorettes, involved fathers, and orphans. We are different roles to different characters in all of our collective stories- perhaps you are a daughter to your mother, but also a grandmother to your grandchild. We cannot be limited to being only one thing in this life because we are, without debate, a million different things all at once. We are brother, we are uncle, we are employee, we are slave. We are whatever we choose to be, yet we are also many different roles; many of which, ultimately, we have no choice in.

“We cannot be limited to being only one thing  in this life because we are,  without debate, a million different things all at once.”

So, who are you? In your current state of being, are you a mother? Did you, and do you, choose to be? Are you a baker? Do you like that about yourself? Are you a writer? Are you good? Are you successful? Are you fed? Are you a caretaker? Are you ugly? Do you bring hope to others? Are you a failure? Are you a thinker? Hello! Are you even there?

To better understand who you are, it is important to include who you are to others. Our relationships should, ideally, motivate us toward happiness and peaceful existence; however, this is not always the case. Perhaps you are the villain in someone else’s story- perhaps that is a title rightfully earned or wrongfully earned. If you can examine, without bias, exactly who you are to others, you can ask the next big question- why?

“Perhaps you are the villain in someone else’s story- perhaps that is a title rightfully earned or wrongfully earned.”

We all make choices, and they are part of what makes us our own unique identity. As for me personally, I made the choice to have a baby when I was eighteen years old; I also make the choice every day to care for that baby, who is now in the second grade. That makes me a mother. Why am I a mother? Because I choose to be. Why do I choose to be? Because I feel like my child will benefit from my involvement in her life. Why do I feel that way? It is part of my value system to put my child’s wellbeing on a pedestal… and so forth.

The lists of “what’s” and “why’s” can go on endlessly, but you can stop once you are confident in the truest definitions of the roles you play. Upon learning and describing who your character is currently, you might delve into your past a bit, dipping your toes in the water of what was good, bad, ugly, or melancholy. Events and experiences trigger reasoning for the choices we make, giving us our concrete “why” answer in many cases. Don’t get stuck in this segment of self-reflection, however; spend most of your time in the present, so as not to suffer repeatedly for mistakes which have already come and gone.

“Events and experiences trigger reasoning for the choices we make, giving us our concrete “why”.”

When you know your what and why, you can define your character. You can edit your avatar. You can decide what you want to keep and what you want to delete. You can dye your hair periwinkle to signify a new chapter with this well-developed character, or you can simply take a deep breath and then walk onto the next page with nothing but a feeling of knowledge-of-self and hope to carry you forward.

When you are stuck in a rut, sometimes it is better to deconstruct yourself before the world can deconstruct you. Feel the moment, but move past it. Remember your why, remember who you are, and embrace the next variation.

I screamed

I screamed today..

I’m just so.. tired? No. Fuck. I don’t even know anymore. Being a parent is hard. They give you books, tutorials. Whatever they can get their hands on. But it doesn’t just end. At all. Ever.

Damn I’m sick. I’m physically exhausted and ill. Like I e been coughing. The works. Viral infections can whoop my ass. It’s unbelievable. And being a parent, I can’t stop. I can’t just step away to get better. No. Not even the spouse helps. I’m left to suffer. Even after talking to him. Even after the fact that I can’t with the war with him on getting a full day to myself. I’m with the kids. All weekday. I work weekends. And I’m still doing everything.

Did I mention my boys are 11 years apart? No. I don’t. One can be sent off to attend hogwarts while the other, still can’t comprehend yes or no. And shit you not. I love them all. My husband included.

But what about me?

Mother’s Day isn’t about me spending the whole day doing nothing for myself. No. It is just a normal day for me. As a mother and wife.

So today, I screamed. Why? Because my 11 year old decided to start problems with his father. Again. Teenager angst. I swear. And I’m out in the middle of it. Because my husband doesn’t want to deal with it himself. Since..it was him to start with. *sigh*

Then… it ended very well. My one year old. The constant. No no no. While my husband gets to do whatever the fuck he wants and not even BOTHER to help me with our son. No. He would sit in the room. Scroll through Facebook or whatever. And my breaking point, trying to put laundry in the basket when my one year old does the very thing that I get into him about.

Putting his finger in the door. Yep. That. The little crack that is hard to move a certain way whenever they put their little fingers there. Yeah.. I picked him up. And just screamed. I screamed to the point. That when I finally slammed the door. My husband finally gets up and picks him up.

For literally five minutes and I have him back again. And I’m shaking. My anxiety and heart rate is higher than a damn mountain. And this fucker does that shit. When I’m literally staring at him like I want to be on the break of tears.

This is one reason why… I gave up on a fandom I loved. This.. is why I gave up on roleplaying. I gave up so much of my happiness.

Just to make others happy.

And now I’m not okay. I don’t even have friends to vent to anymore. To hang out with. I’m so fucked. Mentally. I want to hide. To run away somewhere and start a new life. But I can’t. I can’t leave the one small piece of me that I love the most. The family I created.

I’m sorry everyone.
