Feeling overwhelmed today.

[Rajah]

I'm just having one of "those" days today. Got an email about a school project I've been working on for a while asking for an update (perfectly reasonable question and nicely phrased), and for some reason that just was too much this morning.

I'm not *too* bad today, just looking at this mountain of work I need to do compared to the hill of energy and time, and seeing no hope for finishing everything in a timely manner.

This is between taking care of my mom, work projects (which they're being very patient and helpful about at work, *I*'m the one doing the "must do something" push), school homework, school projects, trying to get my cross stitch design company off the ground and publish my first patterns, and still get some "me" time in there as well. Just seems to much today.

Wish I could go back to bed for a few hours.

I'm sorry you are having such a bad day.

Please know that you are in our thoughts and that I wish there was something more I could do than over you my shoulder to lean on.

Rajah-I think you are sounding very normal! We all feel that way sometimes even when we aren't carrying your burden of sadness. Just remember, one step at a time.

When I'm feeling overwhelmed, it helps to focus on what's getting done, not what's left to do.

I also calm down if I list everything out, prioritize it, and then get started on Priority #1 for however long it needs attention RIGHT NOW, not necessarily until completion of the project, before taking on #2.

Don't forget one priority that has to stay at the top of the list is taking care of yourself!

{{{HUGS}}} sweetie. You're going have some bad days for a while. Believe it or not, though, the good days will eventually outnumber the bad ones.

Try to take things one day at a time. One <i>hour</i> at a time if you need to, heck even one <i>minute</i> at a time.

More {{{HUGS}}} sweetie.

Hey , good luck with the cross-stitching biz!! I just picked it back up after years of not having time for myself to do it! Well I still dont REALLY have me time now either, but as my twins get older I can craft a little.

Hugs, Tammi! I agree...it's one of those days.
