Do you have any family that could take care of the kids for one to two hours? I don't but I am hoping you do. If you had at least one hour you could pamper yourself with a bath, good smelling lotion, and nail polish if you do your own. If you had at least one hour, you could take a walk in the sun-which always seems to help on several levels. You could watch a sitcom. If you don't have anyone to look after the kids, I would tell them they need to play in their rooms for thirty minutes or an hour. If your kids are like mine they have plenty to keep them occupied during that time. If they are old enough they could go outside to play. I can remember my mom telling me I needed to get fresh air. If they are young, you of course can't do this.
I would even tell a family member I need you to watch the kids for an hour or two. If you are like me, I say I want to run away, but I would miss them in an hour so it makes better sense for me to find someone to look after them for an hour.
Maybe make a list of possible people you would feel safe watching your children.
I have told my husband several times that child care once a month would be an awesome service for mental health to offer. My son goes to an awesome daycare. Surely they could get a grant or just pay outright for these certified people to open up the daycare for a few hours once a month. That is all I would need to feel refreshed.

I'm glad you are feeling better. That is generally how it goes with me. Depending how your children interact, they should be able to take care of themselves.

Even if your kids like being around you all the time it is still good to take a hour here or there without them. Our kids like being around us too. They like being around us so much that they drive us batty sometimes. We have started a thing where we try to have a date night once a month. It's difficult because Jay's parents are still young-mid 50's and have a more active social life than we do.
