Boundaries

I am super sick and in a bad, bad mood.

I feel like all around me are people who want to leech energy from me.  BOUNDARIES!!!  Holy fuck, you tell people that you're sick and they just don't get it.  Sometimes, I feel totally overwhelmed by my acquaintances, friends, and family.  I have health problems and I'm trying to get through grad school.  What part do people not get that if I'm taking Tylenol 3 to control pain and at the same time writing essays in bouts at my computer because I only have the energy to work in pieces, I don't have time and energy to make birthday parties or hang out!

Of course, calls from ex-boyfriends who want to suck you back into their destructive lives are always a happy bonus.

People out there must get this.  I'm seriously thinking of packing my backs and finding a quiet corner in the Rockies to become Grizzly Jones.

I regularly have days where I want to go build a cabin on the side of a mountain somewhere and tell the world to bugger off.

Hope you're feeling better soon, Polly.
