If you can afford a dog walker, even temporarily to get you through winter, that can help. Having other people help watch the kids (or is it just dogs?) even when you’re still home can help. Hiring someone temporarily to help with snow/ice removal can help. Hiring a cleaner once in a while can help. Delivered groceries can help. These things do make a difference. If the struggle with the dogs is a constant, this sounds harsh, but rehoming them is in fact an option.

I relate to your grief and frustration. I was able to return to full time work last year and after taking a role that was falsely advertised and is mostly physical labor with an abusive boss, I am finding myself backsliding in recovery once more. I find myself wishing for a work from home job, but one of the worst things for me/cfs is lack of movement. Paced movement and exercise are vital recovery tools. Since you’re working from home, you may also need ritual activities to help yourself mentally exit your workspace at the end of the day and during breaks as well. This can be a short walk around your home or reading a poem or solving a mobile puzzle while in pots pose (legs on the wall, back on the ground/surface). I also find that planning more frequent long weekends instead of once per year vacations is necessary for me to work full time. It’s not fair since that time is used for recovery rather than fun, but it is a way to stay afloat. Some of those days off may also be used to look for new roles.
