There are times when you, as a parent, feel overwhelmed and sad. We are all human, and parenting adds more complexity and responsibilities to your life, and it may sometimes feel like you are drowning, and it is too much to handle. It’s OK to not feel OK. If you are feeling sad, know that you are not alone. a 2017 study* published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology suggests that “individuals who accept rather than judge their mental experiences may attain better psychological health, in part because acceptance helps them experience less negative emotion in response to stressors.” Parenting is hard. Take care of yourself. You are doing the best you can.
