Title: Coping surprisingly well
Post by: songbirdrosa on December 09, 2017, 11:26:40 PM
For the last few weeks, I've been really slammed with by my work and study. Most days there's been something that I've had to do, or somewhere I had to go. And I think I'm doing remarkably well! The only real issue I've found was when a friend tried to lean on me too heavily, and that took its toll. But I was able to tell him that I couldn't handle it, and kept myself safe.

When a similar situation happened about three years ago, I crumbled. But this time I've managed to work through it and get everything done that needed to be. I haven't really been sleeping very much, but on the whole that's small compared to the complete breakdown that I'd usually expect from something like this.

I feel good  :cloud9:
