Wah. ._. You know, that time between former-career-path and new-career-path is one of the hardest times (I speak from experience). It's like... you've given up on one dream or goal, and are trying to start a better one, but it's just so goddamned frustrating being in limbo and not being able to actually START. Add that to it being September-ish, the time of year when most of us are used going back to school, and it just adds up to feeling directionless, aimless, and a little helpless.
*offers hugs and chocolate* Wish I could do more.
I'm just feeling like I'm behind in things and am never going to catch up. And they're things I love doing/running... but things seem like mountains. And if I hide from them, they'll go away -- only I start feeling guilty that I'm letting people down. *sigh*
I've been there more times than I can count. You get stuck in the middle, in a sense--between not having time and feeling like you're letting people down. Do you have people you could possibly beg/bribe to pick up the slack on a few of the optional things until you feel more able to tackle it all?
People do tend to understand when life gets in the way of optional committments. <3
