Checking in…I had a typical stressful day at work, but I sought my higher power (HP) for showing me positive things in my day. Had a great interview with a recruiter and will be presented as a candidate. It will take a few months before the committee makes a decision, but I’m at least grateful to be in the mix.

Trying to focus on seeking comfort from my HP in order to get through the day. My mind and body are weary :disappointed:

The blessing is that I made it another day sober and for that I’m grateful.

Tonight will hopefully be day 27 of no self harm.

Nothing significant has happened I just feel so overwhelmingly alone. I just have days where I wonder why I’m even alive. It’s just wishing everything would stop. I know how to keep myself safe during these times, it’s just the absolute worst feeling. It feels like no matter how many people care I am truly alone at the end of the day. It feels like I’m never going to get out of this hellhole town. I just want to lay down and let myself rot. Tomorrow will be different

Morning of day 611

Rainy today, so got out my rain suit for the bicycle ride to the station. The left sleeve is duct taped over a rip I got when I was riding home after drinking in the train after work and crashed and fell. It was probably 4 in the afternoon, and very close to my house. I wonder how many neighbours have seen me drunk over the years. Did they assume drunk? Or ill/clumsy? Well, can’t fix it now, just gotta let go and be the different person that I am now.

I get it. I had days where I just wanted to sit in my closet. I really felt like there was no purpose for me to be alive I felt like I was a detriment to my kids, not being a "mentally healthy " mom. It got better, and I hope and think it will get better for you too.
