The past 2 weeks have been the most challenging days I’ve had as long as I could remember and everyday seems to be worse than the one before. Today takes the cake. I’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, I’m gonna snap, I’ll probably go out for milk and never come back…

Im checking in, reminding myself to just fucking breathe…

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. Wasn’t able to sleep until 1 am because of bad, self destructive thoughts! :confused::roll_eyes:

Hadn’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, I’m on my way to work.
One colleague is sick and one is at school. And from Thursday on we’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 it’s only Monday and the worst case may never happen. But anyway, it’s stressful.
This is the, I lost count, x reminder for me to get another job. But it’s not easy. I should try it anyway. Healthcare is loosing a lot of staff in Germany these days because we’re chronically understaffed and underpaid. But what else could I do? Hm, good question.
For now I’ll survive this day first. Let’s see how the week turnes out.
Have a beautiful sober day friends :kissing_heart:

Just do fucking breathe… I am sorry about whatever has happened to get you so rattled and upset. Know that you are worthy, know that you mean a lot to lots of people, here and I am sure in your 3D world…
Let us breathe with you… Follow me… In for a count of five seconds… hold it for four seconds, let it out for a long five or 6 seconds… please do this w me.
Stay close to here… post updates… you are cared for, you are loved, plus your music is great… your food too.

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 places… 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 is… 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!
