How do you make it easier to focus on the good and fun little things with your little one when battling your own brain throughout the day?

My mind is on fire and I find it's hard to stay focused on my Mowgli when I'm so down and depressed and anxious.... All I want to do is burry my head in pillows and drown my overthinking brain in tears :/

Mowgli is always so happy and always wants to play and it's so hard for me to stay present and in the moment when my energy is at zero...

All advice is welcome 🙏

I feel the same way too and I’m so bummed bc I have been taking it out on my toddler, bc my patience is just running so low since I let my overthinking brain overcome the better me. I guess take it day by day right? Some days are better than others. I think toddler hood is about survival. The answer to ur question is that it is not easy bc you have your own inner battle going on, it’s really difficult separating and compartmentalizing your son and his needs and your own needs and thoughts. When I only had my daughter I used to be able to do it bc I would convince myself that everything else was momentary but his memories with me were forever... but now with a toddler and a baby it’s not as easy. I would say find activities tjay keep him distracted and that don’t require you to be 100 hands on like maybe fingerpainting or letting him play and the bath while u watch. When he takes a nap if he takes one cry it out and let it out, whatever your feelings are and hopefully by the time he’s up you will feel better.
