  • Where do you get your energy from?? I find that I am completely depleted of energy at the end of the day. Juggling full time job and dealing with dc's therapy sessions, dr apts etc. I feel soo wiped out. I'm aging at an exponential pace.

    • It is so important, as a mom of an sn child, that you find time for yourself, that being said, I never do :(

      • LOL, ITA -- I have NO time for myself -- there is always another book to read about DC's issues, another therapy to research etc. I am of the no-stone unturned school and feel terrible guilt that I might miss something/anything that might help DC. Mayb when I am 80 I will rest!

        • You realize that if you read books until you drop, you will be useless to dc? He needs you to be strong and healthy so you can best help him!

    • THE GYM. #1 way to get energy is to expend it. Endorphins are your friend. Whatever you have to do to get some exercise in, do it - can you work out instead of taking lunch?

        • I am telling you, if you can fit exercise in somehow, anyhow, it will change your life. You will sleep better. You will be in a better mood. You will want to work out more because you feel so much better afterward!

            • Hey, empanadas are the stuff of life. But I know BTDT that when I don't go to the gym I am much more prone to be cranky and I don't breathe, sleep, or eat as well. And I don't have half the energy I do when I exercise. Energy begets energy!
