Stress levels through the roof lately

Work is insane right now, understaffed and my boss wants everything yesterday. Then I come home and I'm expected to be present with my 2 kids. I'm running on coffee and anger. By 8pm I'm losing it over small stuff. My wife mentioned I need to see someone about my anxiety but when exactly am I supposed to find time for therapy? Just venting. This phase sucks.

That's a tough spot being understaffed while trying to show up at home. Have you been able to talk to your boss about realistic timelines, or is that not an option right now?

I feel this hard with three kids and a demanding job. The trick I've found is being intentional even when you only have 30 minutes - put the phone away and actually be there instead of just being in the room.

With two kids and work pressure, something's gotta give and it usually ends up being your own mental health first. Make sure you're taking care of yourself too, even if it's just a 10-minute break.
