You need to listen to yourself! You need to be aware of the signs. Give yourself the space you need.
My daughter is going through some kind of phase that need to be handled with a lot of patience and even though I don't understand what's going on with her, I just have to accept the tantrums and help her calm down. No matter how much it takes from me, I have to calm her down. But I'm out of patience, at least I was. I didn't have the energy to deal with the screaming and yelling every five minutes. I was doing her hair and before the comb touched her hair, she screamed at the top of her lungs that I was hurting her. It was the last straw. I broke down. Her father, who was planning on taking her to her uncle for the weekend told her she wasn't leaving the house all weekend. That she had to stay home because she couldn't behave (she really couldn't). That scared me and within a second I decided that if they wouldn't go I would go, anywhere. But I knew I needed a day. She ended up behaving and apologizing so they went to her uncles house and I had the house to myself. In my head I planned on cleaning up and I wanted to cook something really nice for myself and I wanted to bake... In reality, I ate a condon blue. And cookies. I pulled a mattress to the living room and spend my whole day on it, in front of my tv. I needed half a day and I was good. I felt recharged and I couldn't wait for my baby to get home. The point is... I ignored all the signs before but I needed a break. I'm planning on making my life easier by listening to my body and by paying attention to those signs. They're there for a reason, you know that. So stop ignoring them and work with them. We're all human and we can't take more that we can take... (Does that make sense?) so stop before you do too much and hurt yourself. I love myself enough to pay attention to those signs. You should too!
