86 days.
I barely slept a wink last night. Racing thoughts about moving, all of the things we need to sort for our soon to be rental, money matters, didn’t get to the gym this morning. Taking the dog for a walk this morning instead, it’s finally stopped raining, thank god. This winter has been really wintery. Not enjoying it 
Not beating myself up about not getting to the gym or my routine slipping a bit in madness of everything last few weeks, just going to take each day of the move this weekend without expecting 
from myself the entire time. Otherwise I’ll go completely mad, haha.
I’m sober, making good progress, and that’s enough.
Have a great day everyone

I’ll update again when I get home from the escape room to let you guys know how it went.
Right now I’m just not doing great. The only people who could go with me are my parents. And I appreciate that they’re going and I think it’ll be fun. But my sister isn’t going so it’s just me and my parents. I haven’t had any positive expiences or activities with them in about 5 years. It stings to know that while this will be fun, the fun probably won’t last very long. Every time I’ve done something with my parents it’s great but then on the way home something becomes an argument.
I wish I knew how to describe the feeling. But sometimes I wake up with just this feeling of internal chaos. My mind is racing and I spend the entire day just trying to keep myself distracted from how bad I feel. I woke up like that today. I wish I knew how to calm that feeling but it only gets worse as the day goes on.
I think I might just be adjusting to coming home like I mentioned yesterday. Typically I feel bad as soon as I get home but I think that feeling just waited until today.

Oh, that’s so true 
I’m trying to ween myself from the electronic world but I learned very quickly that I have to take that one slowly. I think this weekend will be a good boost in motivation though I’ll share my findings (if there are any) with ya’ll on my post camp check in

Slow and steady wins this race.
I hope you sleep well tonight.

@MelSews Yeah, I wake up in the morning I usually have my phone and laptop on at the same time. One on this site, the other on YouTube. 
Anyhoo, my night just took a weird turn. I’ve been having a pretty underwhelming day, and suddenly I feel just out-of-sorts… I had laid down earlier to listen to some Insight Timer, but I felt worse when I got up! wtf?? I’m eating normal, taking meds on schedule, hung out with neighbor for a few minutes, the rain was pleasant.
But I feel like shit anyway.

So I just finished the escape room. It was insanely difficult and we only had an hour to finish. We were probably halfway done when the time finished.
It was fun. It’s a new place so they’re definitely still tinkering things. The only people who’ve ever finished it did it in 56 minutes when you have an hour to do it.
I’m ok for now I guess. Feely pretty down but nothing serious
Ok it’s been a few minutes since I got home and my family is fighting. Feel like shit but whatever

Dang. That sucks Mark!
Are ya still sober?
If the answer is yes. I would take that to the bank and try to be happy that at least I got that going for me. Because that’s a really big deal!!
How about a long hot relaxing shower.

I hope that doesn’t happen today and that you end on a good, positive note!
Additionally, I’m curious if you see a therapist at all? The feeling you’re describing sounds a lot like how my panic attacks feel. I have severe (I mean seveeeeeere) anxiety, and sometimes I would wake up not being able to breathe because of the amount of dread I felt for no particular reason. I finally got around to finding a therapist that I vibe with, and now I’m on specific medication that I can take ‘just for when’ I’m experiencing those feelings, as well as a beta blocker for everyday. It’s really helped me to manage my anxiety.
I hope that all made sense… and I hope sharing part of my experience can be of some help to you!
edit i find it funny that I’m replying to your previous post only minutes after you’ve come back to check in afterwards
Still sober: 15 days. I’m trying to keep my chin up. It’s just weird how my mood flipped for no reason. Could use a hot shower; it’s been muggy and humid all day.
