Faced my fears to get what I want

That's wonderful, Lindsey. Glad you are being appreciated.

Tomorrow don't use words like "unfair" or "overworked" or you might not get that raise. Find a positive way to say what you need. "I wanted to take this opportunity to let you know that the workload has been constantly increasing and that it will soon be beyond my ability to keep up with it. I am already working X hours a day (or completing X projects a week) and don't see how I can squeeze anymore into my day. What are your plans to cover the workload?"

good luck!
