Feeling overwhelmed
I won’t bore you with the story. We all have stories, and my situation isn’t special.
It’s just that I have a lot on my plate and I don’t even know where to begin. Suddenly all these complicated responsibilities have come knocking on my door. It’s not the kind of stuff I can hand off to other people. It’s not bad, necessarily. It’s just ... a lot.
It’s a good thing I’m not drinking. If I did that, this complicated situation would turn into a full blown nightmare. Not that I’m not tempted; I just know I can’t.
