I have been sitting here, staring at the blank screen, for far too long.  I do not know what to type.  I try so hard to be open, to be transparent, to not hold back. 
But sometimes it's just more than I can do.
The last few weeks have been really hard.  Prepping for class has been overwhelming this time around.  Yesterday was excruciating.
And I'm angry.
I really want to lash out.  It is so hard to control my anger sometimes.
So I retreat.
Not always physically, but emotionally.  I just check out.
Somehow it seems better than the alternative.
