Keeping Up

Keeping up is impossible these days. At least, it seems like it for me. There are only so many hours in a day and I need to remember that. I can’t get everything done every single day. Which, as a pathological people pleaser is hard to remember.

I’m struggling to tell myself that it’s okay to not get everything done right now. Even though I really, truly, need to get some of this stuff done. And, in that light, it is okay for me to request the overtime pay that I need in order to make sure something doesn’t get missed. My 9-5 is chaotic right now, and I am very much so struggling to remember that I cannot, myself, keep everything together. And that is actually something that is very much so hard to do when you’re the only one working towards that goal.

Breathe
Take a step back
You cannot do this by yourself.
Stop
Try to relax
There are people here to help you.
Ask
For some help
Before you make a big mistake.

I am very much so struggling. And I’m doing the best I can. But it is time for me to ask for help. I need it. It isn’t bad to do. I just need to let go, remember they are here to help, and just breathe.
