when i try to talk, it comes out more like a scream, an attack. i have too much to do and not enough time to spend with people i love. but i find myself attacking them when i feel that they are being too demanding. is asking me to stop by the bike shop on my way home from work really that demanding? i think it's kind of normal....why, then, does such a suggestion create such stress within me that i CRY about the "unfair demands" i feel that people are placing on me in my personal life (when people are just trying to get me to loosen up a little) but mechanically accept more work and more responsibility at my place of employment without a second thought?? when did work trump personal relationships? how can i explain to my partner that grad school has taken precedence over our relationship (it definitely has)? whoa baby, something needs to give.
