TOO OVERWHELMED

Dear Alice,
I’ve been feeling really overwhelmed with everything lately. I hate my job because its so boring, and I’m so busy LOOKING TO CREATE OR
with Uni at the same time, that I don’t have time to look for another job. I feel like I am letting my girlfriend down
because I don’t have enough time to give her the attention she deserves. I know that I am working towards my UPDATE YOUR WILL?
goals but I just feel like it’s never ending. Lately I feel so down that I have been missing work. I just don’t see it
getting any better.
