I am having a terrible day. I feel exhausted and nauseous. I am so stressed because I have way more to do at work than I can possibly do. My work days have already gone up to anywhere between 11 and 14 hours a day (only paid for 7.5) and that is with 4 people in my department. 2 people (not me) are potentially going to be laid off in the next month or so and my boss is so mad that she put in her resignation. They all work just as hard so how on earth am I supposed to do 4 people times 13 hour days every day?
I have a wonderful family and they want to help but that is just extra pressure. If my husband comes to pick me up later tonight or they get me dinner or do something else I feel pressure to show I am "better" or "happy" so they aren't disappointed because whatever they are doing didn't work. How can I get them to just leave me alone. If I just fall asleep at my desk because I can't bring myself to go home and face all that, why can't they just leave me alone? I can't handle even a tiny bit more stress. I just can't.

Yeah, I feel guilty about not wanting help. I know there are so many like you who are lonely. You are dying of thirst and I am drowning :-( I am so sorry you feel that way.

Wow those are long work hours. Sounds like you are really in need of some peace and quiet. And lots of rest. ❤️

Yesterday was awful. I left the house just before 6am and got home at 10:15pm. I looked at my 18 year old and just said "when you dad leaves, I just need you to do your stuff because I can't. Just get to school on time, do your homework, brush your teeth, change your clothes, I just can't". Then I went to bed and proceeded to not sleep. I haven't showered since Monday.

My husband retired last Friday after 39 years at the same company I am at. He is leaving next Friday with my parents to Arizona and isn't coming back until after Christmas. I am so happy for him, he works so hard, he deserves it. I am supposed to go down for a week in Nov and then again at Christmas. I am so upset because I don't think I will see him much before he leaves.

I feel bad about it, but I am just a little relieved at the same time because my son is very quiet so when my husband leaves, I can avoid the phone and not talk to anyone or see anyone outside of work. At work I put on my headphones and avoid everyone as much as I can. If it is really bad I book a meeting room and work where no one can find me.

In hope things ease up for you soon. I went through several months of an intense workload this year and it really decreases your quality of life. ❤️

I think it's going to get worse if anything. All I can do is count down to retirement. Somewhere around 165 weeks but whose counting.
