Your Question:
Why do I have to deal with this on top of everything else?
Answer:
I can relate to feeling overwhelmed. As a pastor, I'm used to being a source of guidance and support for my congregation, but sometimes it feels like I'm shouldering the weight of everyone's problems on my own. Between leading my church, being a husband to Susan, and a father to Joshua and Rebecca, my plate is already full. And on top of that, I've been trying to squeeze in some time for myself to read and play chess, which is essential for my own mental health. I think what's getting to me is that I feel like I'm being pulled in too many directions. I want to be there for my family, for my church, and for myself, but it's hard to balance all of those responsibilities. And to be honest, I'm feeling a bit burnt out. I'm not sure how much more I can take before I start to crack under the pressure. I know I'm not alone in feeling this way, but it's hard to shake the feeling that I'm not doing enough, that I'm not meeting the expectations of everyone around me. I guess what I'm saying is that I'm feeling a bit like I'm drowning in a sea of responsibilities. I need some help figuring out where to go next, how to prioritize my time and energy, and how to take care of myself in the midst of all this chaos. I know that Susan loves me and wants to help, but I'm not sure how to articulate what I need from her right now. I just feel like I'm at a breaking point, and I don't know how to get back on solid ground.
