Day 8. My lack of sleep is driving me crazy and I become to be upset and I hate being irritable. I can’t go home until night.
A hard day for me, I hope to have strength and avoid being cranky with people

Day 867. Heading out in a few minutes to attempt that brutal trail again. Quite frankly I’m a little scared because it hurt so bad the first time attempted it but I’m better prepared this time for sure. I will never get strong enough to start doing the trails I want to do unless I push through and get through these. Anyway, I hope you all have an amazing day today, love you guys a lot!

Life feels pretty stressful right now. I have lots going on. I told my sister a glass of wine is where I would usually go to escape. She reminded me all the stress plus more would be there tomorrow.

Checking in this evening. I’ve been trying to sit with all my feelings and figure out where they are coming from. I’ve been super sad, and tired. Tried to allow for a bit more sleep this week. I’ve also been eating a bit more seafood, as I’m generally vegetarian and have been for years and I’ve heard a b12 deficiency can cause depression. I can’t figure out where the heck my incredibly low mood is coming from. I eat well, exercise regularly, generally sleep ok, aside from bouts of insomnia. Even still I’m asleep same time most nights now days since stopping bar work early last year.
So I’m trying to see other reasons for my low mood.
Still think I’m a bit lonely, and stressed. I’m hoping my new job will be stimulating and allow for a growth that turns a new page for me. Plus will be earning more money so will be able to pay for regular therapy which is exciting.
Thanks for hearing me, another sober day down.

Lego is always nice, but it is to expensive. I would recommend CADA, Moltking or bluebrixx. It’s the same system and the same bricks.

Hi there? I really hope you are doing ok. I hope you went to a hospital withdrawing from alcohol can be very very dangerous. and If for whatever reason you decided to just drink again so your symptoms can stop please do not let yourself get into a really bad state of mind. We are all rooting for you, all of us have failed. you are not alone. I am praying for you.

Any chance there may be communication and validation and mutual recognition parts to this? When I’ve had those feelings I found it helped to dive into my marriage. (In my case. Every person is different but I think a lot of us when we feel lonely are looking to be seen and to see; we are looking to know our thread is woven in somewhere and there’s a connection, a sense of mutual recognition and belonging.) It can also be communities, for example finding belonging in a social or spiritual group.
