Hi, Cris, I'm right in the same place this instant and was so yesterday, will be so for the rest of today. Tomorrow, who knows? All I do know is that this won't last forever. Unless there's something to do that is absolute, top-grade important that has to be done NOW this minute, then cut loose, hang back, use your resources to (1) cut yourself loose from the helplessness feeling, and (2) relax into a mini-vacation in your head. Run around in that vacation (or sleep) and after a while (a day or two) you won't feel so helpless, so put upon. You can't keep pushing, pushing, pushing all the time. You have to rest and get your strength back. The work we people do on our heads or with our heads is exhausting and it's worse than when people without mental problems do it. You deserve a break. Take one now. Take care!
