Today it hit me full blast. I can't even tell you why, although I suspect that the immediate trigger was my current writing assignment from my therapist: writing about what's gone on with this agency and anything I can see towards a solution. I know that that whole subject is absolutely overwhelming, and too frightening to think about directly. Trying to put any of it into words brings it all up, right in front of me, and is just devastating.
So, today I've spent most of the day lying on the sofa, just ----- gone.
I think the frantic efforts at cleaning, exercising, that database, etc, were all efforts to distract myself, to allow myself to stay one step ahead of this train wreck. Well, today I couldn't sustain any of it anymore, and I just crashed.
And I'm feeling stupid as all get out, too, because another factor was taking some Xanax to sleep last night. The result, which I think I should have been able to predict, is that I slept late, then slept on the sofa for a while once I got up, before finally making breakfast more than 2 hours later than usual.
Once again, I'm hating my life.
But I'll be starting "The Eyre Affair" in the next couple of days, which will at least give me something to look forward to.
Sorry to bring all this down so much.

*nodding* I can relate to the keeping yourself busy to avoid a crash, and then when you're suddenly not busy it all catches up with you.
That home work sounds tough on you too..
I wish I could make it easier for you.. I really do.. I don't know what to suggest.. but try and treat yourself well.
And the fact that breakfast was 2 hours late really doesn't matter sweetie.. so don't beat yourself up over that.Look after YOU..
Nikki xx

Racer--I hope the past few days have gotten a bit better. That does sound like a heavy assignment to write. Have you started the book yet? How is it?
