Hyper-reality

Life is hyper-real for me right now ... moving faster beyond my comprehension.

The workload is getting to me; the increased number of projects, the towering stack of marking; the lesson planning; the literature to review; the tasks to attend to.

Added to the demands of life, and the disappointments from friends and people - the seeming apathy, the lack of sincerity, and the absent promises - these seem to be taking a toll on me.

I feel cocooned and entrapped, suffocating and collapsing under the strain. I've never felt this way before. I've always been able to handle great amounts of stress ... but the tensils are breaking ... And I feel like I will collapse anytime soon ...
