Hey guys...

I had a emotional breakdown monday, and thats why I haven't been active.. I went from high to low very fast. Then I spent a lot of money I don't have on other peoples kids.

I am running on no energy.. I am exhausted. I just want to sleep yet I am trying to be social. I am pushing myself in school and at work and at home.

I might just crash and burn. I don't know what to do

Slow down, overall, where ever you find areas where you can. I did either 2 f/t jobs or f/t job and f/t school for 4 or 5 years and it literally broke me. Breakdowns can be like actual wounds - subsequent breakdowns are re-opening a wound that is or has healed. The more it opens the harder it becomes for it to heal, and the less stress it can take later to reopen.

So keep that in mind next time you have to schedule classes. If things are getting to be seriously too much, get a dr excuse to reduce work hours some. Bills & stuff will still be there (and if you can only pay a portion of utilities some, or for a few) months then catch up here & there, they may send mails, but they do take what they get and leave your stuff on.

We aren't made to take on the world in one huge armload nor on our own, even though we FEEL like we have to.

btw - If you need school help, hit me up! I do excellent research and outlines for term papers and the like. I'd be really happy to lend an assist. :D
