Relationships, uncertainty, general vent post. 

I'm stressed, tired, dramatically short on sleep and about to fly away and drive for most a day to bring her back.

I'm horridly unsure if this is even a good idea or not.

Then comes appointments, because relaxing weekends are for *suckers*

I can't recall the last time I really *slept* to be honest.

Much less enjoyed a relaxed weekend.

And I've barely even dented all the unpacking.

And the world is falling the fuck apart.

I don't know any more.

@IrisKalmia *hugs tight* I'm halfway to Arizona bringing Dakota stuff right now, and will then flip back and drive all the way back to San Jose on Monday and Tuesday, so I totally feel you on the exhaustion there. D:

Regarding relationships, I can't offer much advice, aside from hugs and noting that a good therapist can really help. Pretty sure without Zoe's (our therapist) guidance, we'd have split up in horrible shape ourselves. >.<

@IrisKalmia Actually, I lied. I have one piece of hard-learned advice. Rest. I was being burned out really, really bad at a job that later fired me for said burn-out at the start of 2014, and it was fucking destroying my health and relationship. Even if it means losing a job, you *have* to find a way to rest and recover. >.<

To give you an idea, I was off work for 3 weeks, and it still took me more than a year to really function again.

@IrisKalmia If you want to know more of the back story on this, or just talk about burnout in general on telegram or anywhere else later, please, please ask.
