I'm trying really hard right now. really hard to keep myself from falling apart. lots of crying and whimpering. and general neglect of me.

I know this isn't the self-esteem board. but I need to make some affirmations right now.

Work is so hard. Hardest it's ever been in a long long time. It's MY work. I own it. I must make it mine and make it satisfy me and my supervisor(s).

My life is going to be okay. I'm going to take this summer off and reassess what the hell I'm doing with my life. I am very lucky to have the financial freedom and IRL support to make a choice to ... walk away... from everything the way it is right now. Or, maybe I'll be able to catch my breath and use my marathon training to get re-engaged.

Let's just say that burned-out is a vast understatement. I'm burning!

Okay back to affirmations.

I am flexible
I know how to please difficult people
I am well-tolerated, if not generically "liked"
I am smartie-pants
I know how to do nice eye-makeup
I have a diverse shoe collection
I am crafty in every sense of the word.

If I think of my work as a craft project it is less daunting.

If I think of it as a slow march to the gallows I feel like... well you know

So. I have the tools. I have the craftiness.

I can do this. Can I do it by Monday (Tuesday at the latest?)

Then I have another deadline in 10 days. I can do this. Other people have done this before me. They all survived. I will survive too.

steel core is flexible and yet retains its shape (barring meltdown)

1 little task at a time.

I have so many depressive symptoms right now that I think it's fair to say I've relapsed. But I think that I can pull myself out of it. I've done it before and now I know more than I did the first few times.

love helps too.

I'm feeling a little babble love.
