To feel like everything is my responsibility

Today I felt extremely overwhelmed by the things I had to do. I was literally running to get things done. When I had supper with my family, our puppy pissed in the living room. My first instinct is to clean up as fast as I can. My whole family told me to calm down, but I couldn't with the mental load I had.

BTW, I have bad anxiety and can't handle more than a few things at a time.

    I get paralyzed sometimes when I have things to do upon things to do. Sometimes you have to just tell people to help, unapologetically.

    Who is laying this guilt trip on you? You need to lighten up and not be so hard on yourself.

    Tbh, I would want to clean it up straight away too, so as not to let it sink even deeper into the carpet or upholstery, or let it dry.

    But yes, your experiences are totally relatable.

      Mine too, Everything is my fault. My tactic is to say, “Yes dear” to her face and, “Fuck you a million times” behind her back.
