I'm really struggling these days. I was looking forward to this job---caring for kids, working on a team, fun activities---and I know that I did it fine last year, but I don't thikn I can do it this year. I'm already so overwhelmed and out of it. Too much social time, too much on time---I feel like I'm bursting out of my own skin. I can't handle it, I just can't handle it, and I don't know how to come back to myself. I will be meeting with my therapist, but not until Friday. I don't know what to do until then. I just want to feel ok again. I know it's only for a few weeks, but I'm not sure I'm going to make it through. I'm using all my standard coping techniques, like reading, movies, and crafts, but nothing's breaking through this time. Gah!
