I can't handle this life

There's just too much
When you're finished doing one thing there's a million other things to do after that.
It's never never ever ENOUGH

Too true.

Can you focus on the essentials? And recognize that you can't even fulfill all of the things you'd categorize as essential? Narrow the focus maybe?

What *do* you feel like you can handle? Today.

Well, today I decided to put air in my tires. I was happy to find free air.
So, I thought, "I'll do this one thing.", better to light a candle than curse the darkness, right? Blah, blah, blah
And then I see that my front tires are in serious need of replacement, and I can't afford that.
Then I think about how my car is dirty, how I don't measure up to other people, about how their cars and homes are so neat, maintained and tidy.
And then I think, "I'm not even at work today, and I'm freaking out. How can I go and deal with that too?" And I'm afraid of getting laid off, from a job I should be grateful for, even when i feel incapable of doing it and overwhelmed. And what is wrong with me? Why am I always behind?
And I'm trying to get estimates for work on my mother in laws house, because I live there, and I can't handle seeing the effects of neglect and decay everyday.
God, the essentials?
Today, ok.
Thinking....
I will make the bed.
I would say 'go to group', but that's just another self indulgent thing I do like therapy and meds.
Ugh.... Sorry
I'm a bit... Overwhelmed.
It'll pass.
Thanks, Dinah
