I don't know where to start to dig myself out
I am drowning in so many areas of my life that it is really beginning to wear me down. I am so tired lately. I can't get myself up out of bed in the morning. I'm falling asleep on the couch again at night. If I take a nap on the weekend, it's not a 30-60 minute refresher, it's a 3 hour ordeal where I'm completely unproductive! :( J has been helping me where he can but I just don't feel comfortable giving him a huge list of things that need to be done. Plus, he's only been here for 5.5 weeks so he's still learning how things are laid out in my house and where things go, how I do the laundry, etc. etc. I'm getting to the point where I feel like I need to admit myself and be sedated for a week and THEN go back to my life. But, I know that is not possible so I'm muddling through as best I can while still trying to be patient with Henry and J (which in my opinion I have not been). :(
Additionally, (and this is TMI so if you choose to, you may stop reading now), I had the Mirena IUD implanted on 9/24/12. I've been wanting to do this for awhile to try and control the horrible periods I've had since Henry was born. Due to my age and the fact that I smoke, I cannot go on the birth control pill. Therefore, my only option was the IUD or having a uterine oblation. I am not ready for the oblation because I still want another child and am unwilling to close that door just yet. So, the IUD's been in since 9/24. This was done right in the middle of my cycle. On 9/27, I started bleeding. It is nowhere near as heavy as a "normal" period but it's slighly annoying nonetheless. I am still bleeding. *sigh* I realize that this may go on for many weeks while my body adjust to the hormones, etc. but I really just wish it would end already. It is not interfering with intercourse but it makes intimacy less spontaneous as I have a strong urge to shower and flush first. lol I don't know if this change in hormone levels could be causing my tiredness and irritability but it is certainly a possiblity.
So, more for myself than for anyone else, I am going to make a list of things that I seriously need to accomplish over the next few months (some are much more time sensitive than others obviously):

I know Kimberly. It's just hard for me to ask for help. And I'm still adjusting to the fact that I am no longer alone. I'll get there. 
Judt ask him. If he's living there he should do stuff anyway, and 5 weeks is long enough to work shit out. Maybe it is the hormones making you tired. Who knows?
I have had the Mirena for several years now and yes- that is the cause of your tiredness!! I am having mine removed and replaced soon with the one that has no hormones because I am constantly tired- not sure if that is the case, but I dont need the hormones anyway. It will help with your period issues....I havent had one in YEARS!!
ryc: I added you to my friend's list.
