I feel like I'm being pulled in all different directions and expected to perform, and all I want to do is crawl into a cave and take care of myself for awhile. Lately I've been feeling almost claustrophobic, like people are looming over me all the time. It drives me CRAZY.

You need to take care of yourself... go to a Spa for massages ..skin care ... or put candles all around your bathub you inside in warm water drop essential oil and aromatherapy mist for a dreamy bliss to envelops your mind, body and spirit...put some soft music on... just relax and try empty your mind ...it works for me so maybe it could for you too ...... after dress yourself with cosy and warm clothes wrap yourself in a blanket and watch your favorite movie with Champagne or a good wine and a bowl fill with stawberries ....or read a good book.. spoil yourself , YOU deserve it !!!!

I can honestly, totally relate. Really. Obviously, I'm not famous, so I don't have people hounding for my autograph, but I feel like I'm experiencing everything else. I'm always working... and there's projects that I want to do on the side, but I never seem to have that much time for them because of my work, my family and social obligations. I can't even ****ing DRIVE HOME FROM WORK without someone calling me about something. I have had exactly one night this week for myself, and that was spent doing laundry because I had washed everything almost two weeks ago, dumped it on my couch, and then never got the time to fold it and put it away.
Every single night this week has been spent working, getting my hair cut, going out to dinner with friends because they want me to meet ANOTHER friend who is taking me to the Trans-Siberian Orchestra concert along with the rest of his family, or doing some other thing or another. I feel like I'm blindfolded and running into brick walls at every turn in the maze. I wish I had some vacation time coming to me... I would lock myself in my apartment for a whole week and completely submerge myself in my writing. I miss it so much, but I haven't had the time to jump back into it because I need to unwind before I can really write anything decent.
You know what I really need? I need some... um... well... I just need some.

Unless there's a hot man there, I don't know if that would do much for me.

I need to remember this... damn, do I need to remember this. I have to get things straightened out. I feel like **** is falling apart. Everyone makes demands, even my family.
