Overwhelmed = Shutdown

I'm feeling overwhelmed today and it did not help that I only got about 5 hours of sleep. Sleep, I have learned, has a huge impact on my anxiety level. So today, I was totally lazy. I was tired and didn't know where to start with anything. I really wanted to clean the kitchen table but it was overwhelming. Everything seemed overwhelming until I took a 30 minute nap. I was able to put all the laundry away and get a load started. I also got moving and enjoyed hanging out with the munchkin (she's a great mood lifter).

So I allowed myself to be overwhelmed today. I didn't take any meds and tonight I feel pretty good. Let's just hope I can tackle a few more things this weekend. On my list:

1. finish upload and order of photos
2. clean off kitchen table
3. pick up master bedroom

Otherwise, I've been feeling good lately. Work is a struggle and probably always will be unless everyone is replaced...that's not likely. I've got my head down as best I can, choose my battles carefully, and keep my eyes open for other opportunities.
