This has a huge impact on my mental health and I ended up worse than I have been in a long time.
Luckily 15 months of therapy means I can handle things better.

I'm so tired. Toddler is very ill with a virus and hasn't eaten a bite in 6 days. Nearly clinically dehydrated. Yesterday, hubby and I syringed 5ml of liquid into her mouth while she was screaming 90 times.
Love the kid. Sometimes hate the job.
