The Dreaded Funk

Sorry I haven't posted in awhile - I am in a really bad funk, that I can't seem to shake. It seems I can't do anything right as a mother, wife, employee, etc. I feel so overwhelmed. I can never catch up. I am always running. I want to do it all, be everything, and I can't. I feel like I am failing Drew. Do I do enough for him? Do I not clean the house and work with him more? Am I researching enough for him? Do I play with him enough?

I receive compliments on what a great job we are doing with Drew, which is great. I guess I am just doubting myself, wishing I could do more to help Drew.

I get this funk a couple times a year and it will pass. It just sucks!! Do I take anti-depressants to get through the rough patches? Many parents of special needs kids take them regularly. Or does that just cover up the real issues?

I have no answers. Thanks for listening to my pity party.
