I'm sorry. Remember, you will get through this. Deep breaths, take a break if you need to. The feeling of being overwhelmed will pass eventually.
Sometimes when I feel that way I have to shut down for a little bit, sometimes I need to take action. Figure out what might help most and try it. If that doesn't work, try something else.
I think I'm mad at my h, but I'm not sure. Could be lack of sleep and stress making me want to lash out at him.
He's slower than me and can't multi task. It's driving me nuts right now because I feel like this (moving, packing, etc) is all on my shoulders.
Though I know what's not done now will get taken care of tomorrow. The women who are like mothers to me will roll up there sleeves and help me finish.
So I'm not sure why I'm having a panic attack about all this. And I wanted to be further along with packing so I don't feel like a burden to others.
I don't blame you for being frustrated with YH. It does sound like a lot of what's overwhelming you is your own judgment and expectations. These women who love you will not mind helping out. You are not superwoman, you are also not a burden. To the people who love and care about you, you are well worth the effort, I'm certain.
Part of what made mean crying mess was a lamp. A lamp that was my grandmothers (the one I love, not the crazy one). My son lost a piece to it.
So I was mad at my son. Then I was mad at H for not watching son close enough that he lost a piece to my favorite lamp.
Then it was down hill from there.
Big hugs!
Honestly, moving in and of itself is emotional, even when you're looking forward to it. It's a huge transition. It makes sense that you're feeling overwhelmed and that "little" things are triggering tears. You can probably figure something out with a replacement piece if you need to, but you don't need to do that until after you've moved.

I'm here even if it is a little late. Boyfriend and I have really different thought processes for stuff like this and we always end up so frustrated with each other.
This is a really stressful time and it will calm down soon. Hugs.

PS, I'm sorry I want around for this last night! I hope you got some good rest and are feeling better! Like tiramisu said you are not super woman, don't expect to be able to do it all. It sounds like you have some amazing people there to help you, let them! I'd be there if I could, even if it was just to give you a big hug!

I'm sorry I missed this last night. I hope today is better, partiallysunny. Moving sucks! It can be overwhelming on a good day! Don't beat yourself up.
Congrats again on the house, babe. I wish I was there!

Thanks everyone I didn't get much rest but everything went fine today. At least everything is in the house (or on the front porch... Hoping no one takes anything).
Right now we are setting up the bedroom to watch a movie and eat cold pizza.
