I just can't

Published

**This is a in the moment, frustration to the point of tears, rant or vent or melt down**

I give up! I just can't! I am tired of feeling like I'm being manipulated by an elementary school student. I feel like I have failed before I was even given a chance to try. I am sitting at my desk, shutting down, and fighting back tears. Maybe I'm just not cut out for this. Maybe I need to walk away now. Maybe I can find a job in a quilt shop, cutting fabric. I have serious doubts about being able to make it the next 40 days until the end of the year.

I am so sorry you are feeling like this!!! Dont know the situation, but can relate to feeling at the end of my rope. Hopefully you can have a sleep and recharge and be ready for 39/40 more days. Sending you love.

Been at this point myself! You can do it. Deep breaths and think of the good things at your school! That's what I have to do.

One of my favorite ways to unwind is with Bud Light and watching "Naked and Afraid." Maybe you should try that tonight ?

Been there, done that!!! Hang in there.

Take some deep breaths and try not to react until you have taken some time to sit on it.

Seriously, Mr. Ruby Jane has got me hooked on "Dr. Pimple Popper." She mostly removes lipomas and does some cosmetic surgery but yesterday there was a lady with neurofibromatosis whom she really helped. Find your trash TV and your best beverage.

I love this show. But my husband is grossed out by it, so my guilty pleasure.

But TV likes this really helps my emotions settle when they are high and that is high the battle right there.

The other day a guy asked, "Was this about me or was this just about the green card?" I wanted to shout - YOU IDIOT!!! Of course it's about the green card!!

One night, I couldn't sleep and discovered The Toe Bro on A&E. He's awesome...like Dr. Pimple Popper, but with feet.
