Stress can make you old and kill you.... 
You have to put yourself first Schph. Work is always going to be there..... You need to do some things for yourself. I had to give this speech to my cousin, who is a teacher and everyone looks to her to help out, tutor their kids, and her church is the worst. They just assume that she will do everything so they volunteer her without even asking. Until I got very angry with her did she realize that no one cared how this was affecting her....they just wanted the job done. When she gets sick...do you see them bringing her chicken soup? NOOOOOO... they call her to see when she is going to finish their project. Her blood pressure had skyrocketed...She has since learned to listen to me and she has learned to say no....as you should.......now........don't make me have to get on a plane to Chicago.....
