Overload

I am operating on overload right now. Way
on overload. I took a sick day yesterday
because I didn't feel well and now I'm at
work. I don't feel very well again today
and I just feel run down, empty and
depressed. I do not want to be here but
there's nothing that I can do about it
because I have to work unless we want to
be effing homeless. Our budget is sooo
tight right now that we can't afford to
miss a single paycheck. I am mad at
myself and mad at my husband and mad at an
economy that makes both partners have to
work just so you can live without
constantly looking over your shoulder for
a shut-off notice. It's simply not fair.
I know life isn't fair but guess what?
today i'm going to b*tch about it. i feel
trapped and i want to get the hell out of
here but i can't. i'm forced to sit here
in this effing chair all day and listen to
bs and put up with bs just to make enough
money to pay the rent, the bills and buy
food. i'm beyond sick of this. i'm also
starting to believe that something is
seriously wrong with me because I'm
starting to feel like I can't take stress
of any kind. Every tiny thing is setting
me off lately. I can't even take my
vacation because I still have to be on
call until they get a new maintenance
tech. this blows.

Aww, I'm sorry you're having a rough time.
I think as much taxes as we pay, that the
government could give us a break of some
kind....like your utilities are way too
much, imo. Wouldn't it be nice if they
could calculate your wages, and heat bill,
and pay for part of it?

they have something like that through
liheap but supposedly we make too much for
it. Kind of a catch 22 there, If my gas
bill wasn't so high i wouldn't need to
apply but since it is i can't afford to
pay it.

I don't think there is anything wrong with
you I know exactly how you feel. Each
person can only handle so much and when
you are at the breaking point each tiny
little things seems like a mountain. I
have the same overwhelmed don't want to do
anything attitude at the moment. Idon't
think I"m quite were you are but I was
Monday, it was awful I couldn't funtion
properly and I didn't go to work either.
Try to take one thing and one day at a
time, and knock some of the things off
your list you know you can handle like
dishes. I like the feeling of getting
something acomplised no matter how small.

I feel like a basketcase. I'm like 2
steps away from a nervous breakdown. I
want to just disappear for a week or so
but that won't solve anything. It'll only
make things worse. I do feel better when
I manage to actually complete something.
Maybe I'll just pull an all nighter and
try to knock out my whole list. I'll feel
like hell tomorrow but at least I'm off on
Friday. That way if I get it all done
tonight, I won't have anything to do this
weekend and I can just relax!!!
Thanks!!!!! That would take a load of
stress off!!!

I know how you feel, but I have no reason
to feel that way. I get up, go to work,
come home and all I want to do is lay down
and go to sleep. I don't want to cook, I
don't want to do dishes, I don't want to
go to the grocery store, I don't want to
clean my house. I don't know what is
going on. I feel like a robot doing the
same thing over and over again day after
day just to get the bills paid. I keep
saying that I am going to force myself to
actually sweep the floors. Maybe tonight
I will make myself then I can relax on the
weekend as well.

At least where I work we don't get days
off for Easter. I wish that would be
great. I'm jealous.

Hardly anyone in the us gets off for
easter. I had to use a vacation day for
good friday.  I made
Miguel help me and I got a lot done. I'm
probably going to stay late at work today
too.

I was just thinking the same thing. I am
working for the county now and they are
actually off tomorrow. I have never had a
day off for Easter. This will be a first,
and I can't wait to get some time off to
take care of things around the house....

I work for the federal government and we
don't even get one of the days off. My
husband works in a factory and they get
tomorrow off; it's just not fair. I
couldn't let him spend the day at home
alone, so I'm taking some vacation time!
My house would be a wreck if he were to be
there by himself all day!!!!

We get pretty much the same, except for
the day after thanksgiving, the day before
christmas and the day before new years.
We don't get those. We do get veterans
day though. I'm not complaining, we have
10 paid holidays a year, which is great.
I just hate it when my husband has a day
that I don't. I go home and can see every
single place he has been!! It drives me
absolutely crazy! But, right now, I guess
it really doesn't matter. Our house is
turned upside down right now anyway due to
some remodeling...to make room for baby.
