I think I need tips.

It's 230 245, I get up at 5, but I've been awake for more than an hour because I keep breaking out into hives. After changing my clothes and checking the bed for bugs and realizing the randomness of the rash placement, I went to Dr Internet, and I think it's just stress.

I had a bad weekend, tomorrow (well, today) is gonna be rough, and the holidays are looking grim - the stress is going to keep coming. I need to handle it better, though, because adding rash-induced sleep deprivation isn't going to help.

I think I need to do a better job of taking care of myself. How are you taking care of yourself? Big things, small things, any things - what is working for you?

    I loved all these answers, and this was the comment that made me realize I'm past stressed into straight up Burned Out.

    I really don't know how to tell you how much I appreciated having someone tell me to do all the things I'm doing in exactly the way I'm doing - it really was a huge "OH FUCK" moment that made me totally reassess my situation and give myself a lot more grace.

    Thank you. ❤️ Really, so much - thank you.
