In reply to double life?, posted by crinn on December 3, 2001, at 7:38:15
Totally. This so describes where I am right now. If I didn't have to lead that other life right now (the work one), I would probably go on forever. I just want to sit in my chair at home and not function -- but that is not allowed. Everyone believes I can function -- and I guess I do, but just barely. I'm tired of doing so. I want to quit.
> Does anyone else feel like they are expected to live a double life? I feel like even though I am sick, I have to go to work, take care of the family and behave as if everything is ok, when I can barely function. I think this is making me sicker, not healthier. All I want to do is rest. Of course, sleep is impossible. Anyway, just wondering if anyone else ever felt like this. Thanks!
