I hate days like this. Days that feel like you're all wrung out and then you need to find just a little more to give. Days like this make me want to scream at people. My anxiety flared up so badly I felt like I was going to be sick. The worst part is that it's because my boss gives me these insane tasks at short notice. I can achieve them. I can even exceed expectations. But I wish I couldn't, just so she would stop asking. Because the toll it takes on me mentally is not worth being seen as "brilliant" or the "problem solver". It sucks.

So after a full day's work with some 'compulsory' overtime, a dance lesson, house hunting and some online courses I finally FINALLY get to crawl into bed to read my fantasy novel and pretend that I feel okay. Just for a little while.
