Sometime I feel like I’m going to have a nervous breakdown. I’m so exhausted from all the stress and anxiety I’ve been thru this past 4 years.
I’m trying not to turn to drugs and alcohol for comfort. I’m not craving any of them. All I really want is to just rest. Physically, mentally and emotionally.
Hi there, thanks for checking in. Are you able to give yourself this time for lot of resting you need? You realy seem to need it… And it’s good to read that you don’t want to do other things.
I can totally relate to this feeling. I often feel soo restless and all I want is to be able to switch my brain off, relax. But what is this term? Relax. Rest.
I am slowly discovering what I need in which situation. I am not perfect and often I still come and vent here about how awful life is. It helps as well. Sometimes it’s doing yoga, sometimes walking in nature. Sometimes listening to music or watching something funny. See, well, I see, I have difficulties when there is: nothing. Then the thoughts get crazy loud.
But drinking or drugging or eating or not eating or only sports whatever, is not helping me to find some sort of balance.
I’m out of state currently for my once AH’s care. I’ll be heading home for a few days to take care of stuff and hopefully take a break. I’m going to try to take this time to rest.
Rest , reset, refocus and recharge for me i always have to find time for self care it’s a part of my journey. We must take care of ourselves so we can be their for others. For me nothing comes before my sobriety and if am putting anything in front of God and my sobriety i am doomed to drink. For me it’s God sobriety and everything else. Wish you well on your journey and that you get the much needed rest.
