Making self care a priority is challenging. Looks like your body took charge and is getting what it needs.

Thank you, hope you’re having a good day as well. Mine turned out pretty okey, I did afternoon brownies (without milk) the boys got to borrow my husbands work walkie talkies and had a great time. And my brother is coming over with a new dryer for us and are going to stay for fika. He also revealed that they are going to move from the city they live in and into my parents village so he’ll be closer. :blush:

Still a bit upset that I didn’t got in to school but my husband is trying to convince me to do another freelance try in the fall instead. And maybe he’s right.

Yeah bro I’ve been doing the same thing and it’s draining.
I’m glad you are still here and didn’t just give up and we’re able to learn from it…I have not gotten a really good bike hike in a while, still getting my jogs in and focusing on hit style workouts now to.

Honestly everyone it’s going to be a few more days before I’m back. Idk I’m just not feeling it right now, Im not that spunky happy Mike right now and I can’t sit on here and act cheerful and try to help anyone. I have no thoughts of drinking at all, like it hasn’t crossed my mind. But I am for the most part of my days just hating everything. I don’t want to talk to anyone, my little sisters baby shower is tomorrow and I get to meet my lil niece and I don’t even want to go. I hate everyone at my fucking job, everyone negative bullshit in this department is rubbing off on me, I can feel the rage inside of me and I just want to fucking snap.i try to be “positive” but it ain’t happening.

Maybe there’s something in this hâte for you, I’m sure you’ll find your way through it. Personally when I get those feelings it’s a sign I have to take time for myself. Looks like you’re trying to do so. Maybe a good book or movies, treat yourself and take care man.

You don’t have to be positive and encouraging at all times. I sure ain’t, we’re all just humans with ups and downs (for me to mostly downs nowdays, everything and everyone seems to do their best to be annoying) and it’s absolutely normal. Somedays we just want to lock ourselves in the closet with a nice blanket and stay there until the world is sweet again. And other days it doesn’t matter because we’ll Rock it anyway.

I would recommend you to stay here anyway even if you doesn’t want to post or cheer for people it can be nice to just read the threads. That’s what I do.

But I know it’s different for everyone,I really hope you’re feeling better soon.
And that your weekend will be nice.

Good to see you back bro, I almost thought we had lost you. How’s life been treating you?

I agree with what all the others said before me. As @Fargesia_murielae said, this is not a forum for shiny happy people, or I wouldn’t be here! This is a forum for sharing our journeys and supporting each other on them - the good days, the not-so-good days, and the ones that are a whole lot worse than that.

I do get the whole abstaining from social media thing (but I’m an introvert. I was on FB for 3 months 10 years ago and it wasn’t for me at all) but this feels different to me. This is a community, I’ve found, where we can truly “show up as we are”. If you have even run out of words, you can still show up and just say “rage-yuck-blah-bonk and life sucks right now” and no one will judge you.
I think that’s why we all keep coming back :wink:

Take care - be kind to yourself please.
