Mental Load, Stress & the “Middle” Years

[CalvusRex]

Many of us are juggling a lot at once: work, kids (or adult kids), aging parents, finances, health, and whatever’s happening in the world.

Use this thread to talk about:

• What feels heavy right now
• How stress shows up for you
• Things that have helped you cope, even a little
• Times you’ve asked for help (or wish you had)

No diagnoses, no fixing each other, just honest talk and practical things that have actually helped.
