In reply to Stressed to point of wanting to go into my cave, posted by seldomseen on June 1, 2009, at 9:54:12
I'm learning with stress that there is a tightrope that I walk where I am just poised between a total, frenetic explosion and a complete shutdown. Sometimes, I just explode out into the universe like an overfilled balloon, other times I hide like a bunny in a briar patch.
The key is managing the stress until you neither the bunny nor the balloon, but a focused productive, balanced person.
At this particular moment, I am poised on the tightrope, getting stuff done. For me, the key seems to be drinking a lot of water, chewing a lot of gum and absolutely, positively eliminating any distraction. I could completely fall off at any minute, but just wanted to let yo know that I'm holding it together.
Seldom.
