I'm exhausted. I'm stretched too thin and haven't been able to relax for a good period of time since Thursday. I had the wonderful opportunity to be of service to friends this weekend but after shopping with Grandma today, I'm spendt. I'm just done. I want to turn the computer off even. I want to stay away from the internet for a week but I can't. I'm just barreling through the rest of today and then I can relax tonight and finally, finally take care of MY stuff tomorrow.

I've given myself too much I think, and now am feeling overwhelmed because there hasn't been time for my stuff. To top it all off, I had no hot water this morning.

Can I just sleep for a week?

Yes, you want permission to sleep for a week, you've got mine :-) I hate the treadmill one can't get off of soon enough.

((((((((((((Rayna)))))))))))))))),

I'm in the same position. I finally took enough of my med to shut my mind down for about 24 hours to get the needed rest. When I came around, I still felt to bad & continue to need more rest. That is the only thing that gets me through horrible stress times which I am going through right now.

I understand the empty.....I have nothing more inside of me & am still being forced to have to give just to take care of myself.

I hope your rest is valuable & will do the good that is needs to do so you can regain your strength to continue on.

Take care & best wishes from another one that's running on below empty,
Debbie

I've been raiding the cookies in the evenings haha.

I got some really good sleep last night finally. Tonight is my boyfriend's holiday party so I've been pampering my nails. Got the right hand done last night and gotta do the left hand today. Hard!!!!!!!!!

Here's a pic of my finished right hand.

It was fun to concentrate on creating yesterday, that kind of thing helps calm my nerves. Running on empty
