What does too much on your plate look like to you?

[SneakyPapaya]

I'm a mom who works full time, is completing a surrogacy as a side hustle, going to school full time and I squish all those work hours into 4 days a week and the school work past my daughter's bed time so I only have to take my daughter to daycare part time and can spend as much time as humanly possible with her. Just found out my best friend has cancer and I've been trying to take extra time to spend with her too consoling her and tbh I feel like I'm one good pregnancy hormone increase away from a full mental breakdown.

This sounds like a whole lot of plate and it's overflowing. You got this though as you can express it here in sane and rational ways.

It is a lot of life happening at the same time for sure and whether it's going to overwhelm you or not is a guess.

The school work, your own family and the surrogacy you're helping others with are the norm, this news of your friends cancer must be another ball and chain dragging you under. There is not easy solution, a phone call to step in to your friends situation and console them, a visit with your own kid to them and let them know you're there, a message to your school about things to ask for leniency or a break from work may be something to think about.

I may be a male and inherent problem solver but there's only one of you and you're situation is a heavy burden with only one of you golding it up.

Aw yeah it's hard, I'm a problem solver too which is why I took on so much burden and to help my hubby through a rough job change among other things. But it's good to feel validated that I did indeed put too much on my plate. Cheers to getting through the rough times, as they say when it rains it pours

That you already KNOW what your juggle balls are, is obviously a good thing and now it's about not letting a dropped one here or there become the straw breaking the camels back is how you could go trough this.

That certainly is an overflowing plate for sure!
