just need to get this out but no obligation to read it

I feel really alone right now. I feel like I am drowning at work and my general exhaustion level is so high I am not catching up there or at home. I am wrought with anxiety and I have kinda lost the will to push through. There are so many big things to be done and I am stuck on details. And every time I make time someone else has a problem and I get dragged sideways.

And it's hard to push through when I feel like the world is a mess anyway. What good can I really do? Am I just burning myself out in a corner for nothing?

For reasons the work situation is not a "can you talk to your manager and ask for XYZ" one...what I am carrying is legit mine but I am struggling.

I am just dead sick of being the grown up and the strong one for others right now. I want to go home....whatever that means.

I don't know what the answers are but you've got a friend in me. πŸ’œ

Everytime I press the red heart it comes up black. Maybe I've used up my red hearts quota or run out of red ink. πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ anyway red heart, red heart, red heart.

It’s purple to me?

(I always use black hearts.)

Oh yeah that one is but I like to do red hearts (they keep coming up small and black) because what does any other coloured heart mean?
