Stress Factor

Lately I have been quite stressed due to various factors that are competing for my attention. In fact, I am not really sleeping well and have this urge to work, work, work! It's crazy, I know- that's me.

I asked my hubby how I should cope with stress and this obsession to want to finish more work (I could not sleep and woke up at 3am in the middle of the night to complete work last night). Today is sunday and I am still hard at work; I didn't even have peace when I was watching my favourite Project Runway, there are just too many things to do. Lately, even my joints have started to swell. I know I need to fight this problem or I am gonna be sick again.

Back to my hubby- I asked him how I should cope with this.

"Relax. Work less."

"I can't."

"Then go ahead and do what you are doing. It won't matter, cos soon you'll be sick and that will end the problem of over-working."

Haha. That's true.

I never learn my lesson.

I agree with Ling - but not sure about you Joy, sometimes I get an adrenaline rush when I work myself too much - so much that it's addictive.

The rush when your mind is just filled with swirling thoughts and you start to do things without processing through your mind, and everything becomes a blur.

I am a sucker for things that are harmful to me.
