That’s what I am right now. I felt so exhausted today that I couldn’t resist retreating to my bed by mid-afternoon. Usually I feel guilty doing this, but I’ve gone through so many emotions this week, that I can no longer tell one emotion from the other.
I guess you could say horizontal is also a great way to describe the last 7 days or so. J and I got some news on Friday that swept us off our feet. While things could be much worse, it was an unexpected and painful blow nonetheless. I don’t want to have a pity party and go down the “why us?” or “when will we just get a break?” road. It’ll get me nowhere. But sometimes life seems so freakin’ overwhelming and difficult that I feel as though I’m suffocating.
As always we are bouncing back but I’m noticing these rebounds are taking longer to overcome emotionally sometimes. I guess I’ll just blame that on the good old age thing. Perhaps that’s something I can’t control either but at least it’s expected and it doesn’t blindside me out of the blue.

So sorry to hear that you are feeling like you’re suffocating right now. I can empathize. Lately I’ve felt like I’m drowning in a sea of loose ends. I hope that things sort themselves out quickly. If you need to talk, I’m here!
