That's just normal life, isn't it?
What is normal?

I had an interesting conversation with my girlfriend this week about how I appear much more stressed in my DW entries than I do when she talks to me in person.

IME, external people are either completely oblivious (and, I think we can rule that out), or you're not nearly presenting as stressed as you think, OR (and this is my theory), you're more in control than you think.

I mean, you made it this far!
