But I understand. You gave up everything you had to find me. And you found me broken. It's hard for you.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Maybe it's not havng so much stress? I know I do that, hold it together through the crisis and then fall completely apart the second I can relax.

Sorry the crocheting is not co-operating.

I'm pretty sure that's what happened on Thursday and Friday. But, for Pete's sake. It's Monday now! Chill out, brain!

Ann, that's a ferret.

it's been a very stressful week, but the last few days have been better

vw, FWIW, sometimes there are enough resources to get through the crisis. Then, when things calm down, the mind/body collapses because it's "safe" to do so.

Could that be what you're feeling?

(ETA: Or you can ignore the x-post.)

{{{vw}}} Sleep deprivation really adds up, I always find.

In that case, I totally blame the yarn. I've caught yarn conspiring against me before, no reason to think it wouldn't act against vw as well.

I feel like I can't even think. I have all these stupid skills that I've been taught to use, and I can't think of a damned thing to try right now...besides taking a nap, which may be a mistake, 'cause then I might be up all night. So, I paged my therapist, for at least the fifth time this week. Still no call back, though.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I always feel stretched thin when I have several days in a row of not enough sleep.

If it was me, I would take a bath and reread a book I particuarly liked in the tub.

vw, do you have a favorite song or album you can put on and sing? Something to just break/stop/change what your brain is doing right now?
