Yeah, that sounds where I'm at, all right. My finances are a mess, partly because I'm not working as much as I think I should. So I can't afford to quit. So I'm trapped here.
I do remember how I felt before childbirth. I wish I had a magic crystal ball though, to give me a clue as to whether my brain chemistry permanently changed or if the increase in responsibility just threw my delicately balanced life out of kilter. (My therapist has told me how impressed he is with my ability to intuitively structure my life to compensate for my weaknesses.) But I can remember myself them. Competent, smart, and everyone happy with me. Now everyone's unhappy with me, and I only occasionally feel smart, and never competent.
Gabbi and I are planning a party (see thread below). Let's kick back for a while and forget money and work.
