Day 266
Work was good! Pretty laid back day. Came home and ate a good supper. Did some laundry and am trying my best to relax and rest before having to do the awake overnight shift with my son. Theres no nurse tonight to watch him on his ventilator, so I have to do it after being awake since 6am and ar work today. Trying to just be as prepared as possible to make my life easier tonight. He does go to school tmrw so i can sleep when hes there. And thankfully it is only 1 night. Initally there were 6 vacant days within a 10 day span so that would have been impossible for me.
Ive been getting a lot of dejavue lately too which is strange bcuz i rarely get that. Strange. Not much else to say right now. Will probably be checking in abit more often tonight. I find late nights hard on me emotionally and mentally. Have a great day/night everyone!

The past 2 weeks have been the most challenging days Iā€™ve had as long as I could remember and everyday seems to be worse than the one before. Today takes the cake. Iā€™ve been frustrated and angry all day and I am seriously at the end of my rope. I feel like of one more thing goes wrong, Iā€™m gonna snap, Iā€™ll probably go out for milk and never come backā€¦

Im checking in, reminding myself to just fucking breatheā€¦

Days like that really suck. And if it is weeks you feel like the universe is against you. Hope it turns around soon.

Still struggling hardly with body image and feelings of not being okay. Wasnā€™t able to sleep until 1 am because of bad, self destructive thoughts! :confused::roll_eyes:

Hadnā€™t had such a self destroying point of view for a long time.

Preparing for work, 7 am.

Still sober.
Hugs.

Day 37
Early morning check in, Iā€™m on my way to work.
One colleague is sick and one is at school. And from Thursday on weā€™ll miss another collegue who has to get a surgery.
This is a disaster for us, minus 50% staff.
Yes that stresses me already although itā€™s only Monday and the worst case may never happen. But anyway, itā€™s stressful.
This is the, I lost count, x reminder for me to get another job. But itā€™s not easy. I should try it anyway. Healthcare is loosing a lot of staff in Germany these days because weā€™re chronically understaffed and underpaid. But what else could I do? Hm, good question.
For now Iā€™ll survive this day first. Letā€™s see how the week turnes out.
Have a beautiful sober day friends :kissing_heart:

Day 267
Its just after midnight here and im still awake since Im doing the awake overnight shift for my son. Im sooo tired, especially after being up early and working all day. My son is unsettled so that makes it abit harder. Just harder to relax when im already soo tired. This too shall pass and we will have homecare for monday night thankfully.

I hate being up late. My mind goes to all weird placesā€¦ thinking too much, getting triggered by certain things. I rarely get triggered to use anymore but those triggers remind me of my past. And thats exactly what it isā€¦ my past. Im no longer there. So i have to remind myself often of the present and where my focus is now. That im no longer in that place of dispair. Very grateful of course to be coming up on 9 months in like a week or something. I only dreamed of that back in the day. Never thought complete abstinence was possible for me. I truly thought that id be using something in one way or another my entire life. Truly believed that i just was one of those unlucky addicts who wouldnt make it. By the grace of God i survived all i have and here i am today, blessed :raised_hands:
I need sleep but cant so will do some reading on here i think. Love to all!
