Do you get overwhelmed easily?

[lilmutegirl]

I feel like I do. I think that's why I always feel like I'm behind. I worry, because my only responsibilities at the moment are one child, a part-time job, and one class. I have to pay for food and utilities, but don't even have a rent/mortgage or car payment. It makes me think that if I were to take on more responsibility (a full-time job/full-time school, or more expenses) I would have some sort of breakdown, since I am on the verge of that most of the time as it is.

I'm sorry you're on the verge of a breakdown all the time. ::

I can get overwhelmed myself. Some people can work better under pressure. Not me. I tend to crumble a little bit, which is why I wouldn't be able to be a good leader.

I'm sure I would cope with more responsibilities, but it's just a matter of not going beyond my capabilities.

Sometimes knowing your limitations is a good thing, to sink or swim can be a bit daunting to say the least.

Very often.

I'm sorry to hear that.
Yeah, its same for me, I hate when people expect something from me cos it puts me in so much pressure.

I get overwhelmed very easily at work when the boss is waiting on parts to be made, and while figuring family finances. It got to the point where my wife had to take over doing the bill paying. I get very overwhelmed when I feel that i'm being hurried. It's all I can do not to be overly stressed simply going to my job that I hate. Just knowing I have to be somewhere I can't stand. As soon as my wife gets her degree, I plan on going back to school to get a job I can tolerate easier. Your particular situation though, it'd likely overwhelm 99% of people. It would me anyway. Job, school, work, child, and day to day issues with them all... you certainly have my respect.

Way too easily. Which is why is have arranged my life to have zero responsibilities/stress. Can't handle being abroad, people, any pressure, visitors, phone ringing, unexpected things,... So my life has none of those things. Just means i have to live a very dull/isolated life. But i can't see that i have any choice, as its due to my genetics, bad people experiences, & disorders - none of which can be changed now imho. So i just have to "manage" as best as i can, living with all my problems.
