I feel so stressed up at work. There are a million things to do because of my new position. And there are a million and one things to do to prepare my Sec 4 classes for their O levels. On top of that, I have students to counsel and to talk to, spend time with.

I just walked a girl home today. She was depressed and had cut herself many times with a penknife. She had ever told me that she wanted to die. We talked and talked and....I'm too tired to type out what we talked about. I promised that she could call me anytime to talk and that I would help her look for professional help. My heart really goes out to her.

I feel so drained of energy. I long for some time to do my own things. To spend time with him - quality time. I feel like lately I have been so physically exhausted that I end up sleepy or falling asleep at his place. We used to just lie in bed and chat and I miss that. I am trying not to bring work home, not to even talk about work after work hours, but sometimes I just need to air it out. It's only week 2 and I am burning out. The 3 ulcers in my mouth are healing, but are still there. Can I survive this year?

I just need a hug. That's all.
