I know I'm too thin when I get an inner edginess. This is usually followed by realizing I am dropping responsibilities in my private life/marriage and the H. is picking up the slack for me.
At that point I try to find the deadline/light at the end of the tunnel. I priortize the things that can't be put off, Communicate to my husband what is going on and hang on by my fingernails until I can return to an even keel.
I've never gotten overwhelmed by an infinite commitment. So far it's always had a finite deadline.
I also have a wonderful husband and marriage. We understand that while we are each other's lifetime commitment sometimes other things take short term priority.
