Ever get those days when you feel like and act like a bitch? Lately I hate everybody, myself included. I don't know why and that is part of what scares me. I also feel blue and sad. Typically I never feel this way. I am usually a very upbeat person.
The only things that I can come up with is that at this point in my life everything is chaotic. I work full time. My youngest daughter who is single had to move back in with me. She is 21 and about to be a single parent. As if that weren't enough to deal with I am also back in school. I am taking a "readers digest condensed version" of a college class. I go to school every other weekend from 6 to 9 on Fridays and 8 to 4 on Saturdays,and then 8 to 2 on Sundays. In between I am trying to write 7 term papers and study for and take 3 major tests.
I have other children too, and even though they live on their own close by me they still have problems that I tend to worry about. My job has been cutting back on hours and I worry about finances especially with a new baby coming into my household.
I have lots of friends but as of the last week I have been keeping them at a distance.I also have a long distance boyfriend whom I have been pushing away. I feel as tho I am on the edge and falling is looking really good about now.
I have a day off of work tomorrow and I am thinking about making a appointment with my doctor. I know that he will just placate me with the latest drugs. I don't want to go that route, but yet I don't know what my other options if any are at this time. Thanks for letting me vent.
I've been checking to see something from you for the last few days.
ReplyDeleteI felt the same way a few months ago. Constantly finding myself thinking the negative about everything and hardly ever felt myself smile. Life got too much and too complicated. I went to my doc too, hoping not to get drugs but decided to try the lowest dose of what he wanted to offer... I got the meds.. took them when I got home.. took them the next day .. then took them again about 2 days later when I felt stressed.. I think I took a total of about 7 pills and then put them away.. it helped me get over the bump I guess. It was like I just needed to take a deep breath and recharge.
I hope things change for you soon. Stress sucks. And life is too short to spend it unhappy!
Can't wait to hear from you again .. hopefully in a more cheerfull mood!
Take care
