I’ve started writing out posts several times a day every day this week. Then deleted. Then re-written. Deleted again. Here I am again. Back and forth, back and forth.
I’m struggling this week. I’m tired, I’m mentally exhausted and I’m feeling sad. I just want to curl up in bed under the covers and feel sorry for myself. Actually, I want to verbally lash out at people and THEN go and curl up under the covers and hide. I’m feeling really overwhelmed at work and in my thoughts. I work in a really fast paced, no supervision environment and I usually excel at it. I need to be creative and I need to be able to jump back and forth between multiple different things, and I need to always be friendly when dealing with the public, which I have to do a lot. I have to plan ahead and yet be on the ball with deadlines. This past month I have been none of these. I don’t feel creative and I am missing deadline after deadline and I do NOT want to put a smile on my face when dealing with the public but I have to anyway, so I’m spending most of the time hiding in my office hoping that no one knocks on the door. Yes, I’m sure THAT’s going to help, lol.
I have had an uneasy feeling this week too, something that I can’t put my finger on but that feels scarily like the morning after a blackout. Did I do something that I can’t remember? Is my poor brain struggling with the fact that I HAVEN’T had a blackout for over 122 days now?
Anyway, I promised myself that I would take the afternoon off work and go home and have a nap today and here it is, the middle of the afternoon and I have about 2 hrs worth of work that I HAVE TO DO before leaving work. Geez I need a good old kick in the butt! Somebody please dangle a piece of chocolate cake in front of me for motivation or something! 😀

That’s minor! I sent an email off this morning that had the word “dick” instead of “dock” and I noticed it as I hit the send button. Noooooo!!!! hahahah

Yeah, glad you could laugh about it – I believe the sentence it was used in went something like “we should look at holding more events there – it has a beautiful dick to sit on – great views too”
ahhhh… mah gawd…. seriously though I have been giggling about it all day.

I’m sure it will pass. I was thinking on my way home today that I probably used to have stages like this but those were the days/weeks where I’d be drinking as soon as I left work and topping off my bottle of wine with vodka. I’m really struggling with how to deal with the “I need a friggin’ drink!” Days. My boyfriend has been coming home and drinking every night this week and that doesn’t help either ☹️

I am glad you got a nap in!
I have been down again too…I think because of the return to winter here, and cloudy days.

I’m feeling very much the same, I deleted my blog, even though Im not drinking, I just felt it was so boring compared to you guys, I hurt from head to toe, I’m nearly 2 months in, where does this pain come from? I’m tired all the time and work is driving me crazy, I’m so bored!! We’ll just have to wing it, one day at a time x

Daisy, I’m sorry that you deleted your blog, I think that they’re a great way to write down what we’re going through and be able to look back on it later on! I feel like mine are all over the place and completely discombobulated most of the time. I’m always surprised when people leave replies because I think “really? You actually read that big huge rambling page long paragraph?! 😳” but it’s so great to have the support and know that there are others out there struggling along too. ❤ yes, winging it one day at a time is what we have to do! Hang in there kid, and congrats on your nearly 2 months! I don’t know where the pain comes from but that DOES subside! Now I need someone to tell me that the million wrinkles that have sprung up on my face and aged me 10 years will magically disappear! 😒 where’s that Pail of ice cream dang it? 😁

I know, I wish I hadn’t deleted it now, was having a bad day yesterday and there was nowhere to go for support. Fortunately my mum talked me out of drinking. Pleased to know the pain subsides, I have to say though, my skin looks so good! The open pores I’ve always had have reduced so much, I think that’s because I’m sober i put my creams on at night now.
