Burnout for Working Moms

Motherhood is more challenging than you thought.

You saw the Tik-Tok videos and Instagram reels but thought it was an over-exaggeration. It was going to be different for you. You felt prepared, or at least you thought you were.

Unfortunately, things aren’t different. Lonely, exhausted, and overwhelmed are the best descriptors for how you feel.

A never-ending to-do list constantly plagues your every waking moment. You often feel like grasping at straws to get everything done and keep everything together.

No time remains for you between work, the kids, and your partner.

Seeing the joy in your present state is hard.

You ask yourself, “Ugh, is something wrong with me?” Finding joy and fulfillment as a mom is difficult between chaos and deadlines. You often feel guilty because you would instead do anything else but play with your kid or rock the baby to sleep.

There’s a never-ending reel of what-ifs in your mind. “What if the baby stops breathing, they’re not meeting all their milestones on time, or they’re not eating enough? Am I paying enough attention to them, playing with them, or doing enough? Am I enough?”

You’re burnt out or close to it. Everything feels like it’s starting to fall through the cracks. Sleep is a distant memory. You feel angry or irritable more days than not.

The thought of wishing you never had kids has crossed your mind more times than you’d like to admit. And you’re riddled with guilt for it. You can’t keep living like this!

There is still hope.

Motherhood can get better for you. Therapy can help you address the guilt you feel for being a working mom and the stress you experience from motherhood.
