Stresswise, I'm a sprinter. I do all right when I'm dealing with short, sharp crises-- it's not the magnitude that gets me, it's the duration.
As it happens, I've been running full tilt for over a week now and things show no sign of slowing. I'd give you a laundry list of stressors but I sincerely doubt anyone is that interested in the details.
My judgment is becoming impaired, my capacity for social interaction is as low as it has been in recent months, I'm losing the ability to concentrate, and my threshold of stress tolerance is really, really low. Also, my memory is going-- I keep looking at this post and asking what I'm forgetting.
I'd like to say it'll be better over the weekend-- it won't. Nor next week, or next weekend, or the week or weekend after that. I'm going to have to squeeze a real day off in there somewhere or I'm going to really lose it.
