Try not to let growing up ruin my perspective on life. (read all 2 entries…)
Overwhelmed 2 years ago

I am just really overwhelmed right now—I am trying to do too many things at once and I don’t feel very good so everything I do seems much more arduous than it should. I sat at my accountants and almost cried I just couldn’t believe how much grown-up stuff there is to deal with!!!! I am being a bit of a baby about it right now and haven’t yet come to terms with everything I have to do and understand. I know how lucky I am but I am just not coping very well right now. I must not have been a pretty sight because my accountant gave me a copy of “The Road Less Traveled” and suggested I read it.

Hang in there Snowstar

You’re overwhelmed maybe coz everything is a big gigantic ball of mess right now. Can you simplify things and prioritize what needs to be done? Slow and steady, it need not be a race. Don’t make any rash decisions (accountants make me nervous) especially where your signature is concerned. Slow down, and while I can’t figure out why the accountant gave you that book, I’m sure the intention was sincere. If there’s any way I can help, if you need an opinion on things (hey, I have loads ;) you know how to reach me. Take it easy dear and maybe a timeout to regain your perspective. Hope things will become clearer and lighter for you soon enough.

Thanks dear Nina!

You are right about the time out-I am just trying to do too much at once. I need to slow down and prioritize and always remember nothing really terrible is going to happen if I slow down. My problem then is learning how to pace myself so that I don’t slow too much. I am so glad you got 9 hours of sleep!!!! When I don’t get enough sleep the littlist things start to grow into irritations.Thank you so much for your kind words and support-they helped…ALOT.

Scott Peck wrote a few good self-help books.

I haven’t read that one yet, snowstar, but I’ve heard that “The Road Less Travelled” is a good book.

thanks, Wayne

I, too, have heard good things about the book! The little I have read of it so far seems very aplicable to my current state of mind-really they are some basic life ideas that I seemed to have missed-things that will make life alot easier if I follow them.

My accountant was absolutely trying to be of help. She is wonderful and I am lucky to not only get sound financial counsel but she is a good friend. A week later, I hope you have a nice Sunday,too!

Please let me know how you're feeling?

Are things a bit better than they were a week or so ago? I hope so, nice lady. I was up early because I had to make sure my son made it to work for 7am. Rather than go back to bed and risk being late for choir practise, I’m going to stay up, lol. I’m not really a morning person, but can be if I must. Please let me know what you did this weekend? :)
