Fragile - handle with care

I've accepted that this hypersensitive state of mind, together with me being completely incapable of handling stress, a red flag signaling that I have to make some changes. I refuse to become the vicitm of burnout. I accept that it's going to take time for me to feel like myself again.

So I'm letting the tears fall when possible and when the kids aren't around. I've decided to focus on getting through my final days of work (before I take my vacation) and lay off with my S&M attitude towards housekeeping. I've told my husband that our communication has to be direct and to the point; I can't deal with innuendos and suggestive hints in need of deciphering.

And I tell myself that this is yet another phase which will pass.
