I have been so busy and so much is not getting done. I am trying to take things one small step at a time but I find myself not coping with the pressure at all. I am grumpy, moody, irritable, b*tchy, rude, and cross - almost all the time. Not being able to handle a bit of stress and pressure is also making me feel weak and stupid.
I need to write emails to dear friends but can't seem to get to it. Yet, I have spent so much time reading everyone's posts.
And then I still complain that I don't have enough time to get everything done.
Just needed to rant, no replies necessary.

Back when I was working, I often felt overwhelmed by stress on the job. I figured I needed a less demanding position, so, over the years, I downsized myself into smaller and smaller jobs. From a manager to one who is managed :-)
And I still would eventually get that same swamped feeling, that I was drowning in the tasks and going round in circles and getting frustrated and not able to finish one thing and go on to the next. I think the problem was not ever the job, but the person who was showing up every day to do it.
And so I am not working right now. I'm working on a far larger project, that of ME, and it is the biggest thing I have ever undertaken to do. There seems to be a really long path to success, sometimes. I am lucky, lucky, lucky, to be able to do this. I want for nothing, all my needs are more than met, allowing me to concentrate on that Big Project.It's still overwhelming a lot of the time.
Thinking of you, and hoping that you can ease up on yourself. Be patient. Let yourself do what you can do today. I now mark my accomplishments by writing them on a postit note and sticking on the fridge - my TaDah!! list instead of a ToDo list. That helps a lot.ClearSKies

Sorry you're having a tough time of it Sabrina :-(. But I'm sure those dear friends consider themselves considerably gifted by your friendship and presence in their lives. You just take good care of you okay. That's all any of us would want
