Day 2. I will not feel shame, disappointment, or hopelessness. I have learned so much about myself and done some incredible work around my mental health. I have been incredibly moved by powerful speakers with stories so close to my own. I have reached out to the VA for an appt to discuss IOP or inpatient. By the time they get back to me, I may already have reached many milestones. :rofl:

Now that most of our family is aggressively ignoring us (they love us, they just donā€™t appreciate my kiddoā€™s lifestyle), I am not sure how feasible inpatient could possibly be as the sole breadwinner and dog caregiver.

Anywho, I am so exhausted over this dual-reality life weā€™ve lived for the past four years. I wonā€™t say itā€™s the reason I drank but will say it was one of the biggest things I was self-medicating and hiding from. So many other things regarding my own life and big and little t trauma are also there but I have been working on those things. Something about not being able to fight for my kid has been incredibly hard. It just wasnā€™t my story to tell.

Now that everything is OUT on the table, I feel so much more comfortable in my skin and I can support and advocate for my son in the way I have wanted to. I am proud of him for coming out and happy that we can all live authentically moving forward.

Kind of in a funk today. I got to work and heard another manager was shit talking about me to the interim store manager because I didnā€™t take away the trash before i clocked outā€¦ After i had stayed an hour late, helping her, doing her evening tasks so she didnā€™t have toā€¦:unamused:
I passive aggressively did every single thing today, even monthly tasks because i was not about to hear about what i didnā€™t do. That really irks me. Especially because I work harder than her on her best day, even on my half assed days. But i digressā€¦
I left work to get the kids and brought them home, only to hear my daughter left her phone, so back out i went. And back to the grocery store, because of course I forgot something when i was there yesterday.
I made dinner. And it was really good. But my little one didnā€™t eat it. So she needed a different dinner, and more time was spent cooking. Which is ok. She has texture aversions, and at the end of the day, fed is best.
But while i was in the kitchen, someone comes over with crap that i really wish wasnā€™t hereā€¦ And Iā€™ve been frustrated since. I know i should just drop it, not let it ruin my nightā€¦but Iā€™m tired of the same conversation. :weary:
I think some kind of self care is in order. Cuz otherwise, Iā€™m going to go to bed Angry and it doesnā€™t make rest very easyā€¦

I do hope yā€™allā€™s day is going better that this one for me. :two_hearts::two_hearts:

Day 103
The second coworker is sick and I feel how I get more and more angry. Itā€™s always the same, nothing changes, more and more work no matter if weā€™re 6 or only 2, etc. Weā€™re almost as bad staffed as in the end of last year.
Itā€™s the same in other offices, in other jobs. Its everywhere. Feels like everything is collapsing.
In my city and the city near mine, theyā€™re already reducing public transportation by 50% because itā€™s so bad.
I try to focus on me only to not have this fear again. Lucky me that I have a long day of work ahead with no time to think about anything except maybe what to cook in the evening.
Iā€™m sober, I won.
Have a beautiful sober day friends and stay strong :kissing_heart::muscle:

#Day 1577 :walking_woman:


Not much to share besides this picture of the eye of a crocodile I saw at the zoo. Iā€™m intriged by eyes, all sorts of.
There is a whole world inside them.

Another sober day, another day at work.
I bit bored by the weather: grey and wet.
But life canā€™t be happy always, that would be boring too :upside_down_face::sunglasses:
