Pretty darn tired. My anxiety has gone down but will be back tomorrow morning. It will be a whirlwind of a day but I've got Friday off, so will hav
So sorry to hear of bro-in-law death. You just don't need to have any more else to deal with. Have you ever thought of a job change. Maybe you could find something less stressful.

And my arms are aching from all the pruning I did today. Will rake it up tomorrow.
I hope your arms recover soon. Work isn't always this stressful, it's just a lot of shit hitting a lot of fans all at once. It might calm down in a bit. Well, I hope so! Just all coming at the wrong time with personal stuff too.

Time to sleep now, I hope. Tomorrow is hopefully too busy to feel stressed and anxious, hopefully rake up some of the shit the fans have been blowing everywhere 😱

Fed up, I went and ran 4 miles to clear my head of one major issue. Felt a bit less anxious. Got in and there's a message waiting with another fucking piece of major bad news. So last Wednesday my bro-in-law died and I've had other shit to deal with more keeps coming and my mental and emotional surge capacity is just gone. It's all overflowing as fucking dread and anxiety. If only I could run 24/7.
i'm sorry that you lost your brother in law

Frustrated and tired
Up at mn after a couple hours sleep and unable to get back to sleep. I hate nights like this.
Sorry to hear about your sleep. Hope you sleep well soon. I got 6-7 hours but only because a) I was exhausted from lack of sleep the night before and b) I used various chemical aids as I HAD to sleep to get through today's list of meetings (can fake it remote, but sitting in same room people will notice me dropping off mid sentence!)

Feeling relieved and stressed at the same time. My friend drove me and my niece to the hospital. She had a blood alcohol content of 400, which I've come to learn can be deadly. So, I don't know what's going to be, I hope that she'll go into a program before they release her. I've decided to call her brother, my nephew even though we haven't spoken in over 20 years to let him know what's going on. This way noone can say, no one told me. Plus, maybe he can be a support. It's really a lot to handle.

Sounds like you've got a lot on your plate. I hope you can navigate through this. Thanks also for your kind words above.

I'm at work, and feeling much less anxious than yesterday, but that is probably down to the lingering effects of what I took to make me sleep πŸ€” The sleep itself must have helped, I was facing another terrible night with my mind racing and just thought bugger it, this counts as an emergency, and dipped into my supply of anxiety meds. Worked - was asleep in 15 minutes and the sense of impending doom evaporated. I just hope it doesn't kick my brain back into dependence, but if it does, I'll taper off again. I tried to stay off so much, but the anxiety really was getting unbearable, and unusual for me. So I am cushioned for now, only have to get through today then I have a long weekend.

Lane, I sure hope your niece gets off the alcohol. Its hard to do, but can be done. My brother succeeded and it changed him and his life dramatically. A very positive change. He probably would not be alive today if he had not quit.

Angry right now. My son has been sleeping in my car. Guy kicked him out of his room a couple weeks ago. I noticed it was parked differently this morning. He didn't tell me he drained my car battery by charging his phone, and actually asked his dad who is worthless and has done nothing for him since we seperated 14 yrs ago, to boost my car. The only reason he told me is I noticed it was moved. Otherwise I wouldn't know. I don't need my abusive ex to know where I live. I want nothing to do with his dad and neither did he, but he actually said ''thank god dad came and boosted the car'' I yelled at him.

It's summer. He can go tent somewhere with the tent I bought him last year. He always trashes my car and dumps stuff and spills stuff. I'm tired of him always guilting me by saying I don't care and I don't do anything when all I've ever done was help him in every way I can. Then he;ll say he wants to kill himself to guilt me more. I then get called such horrid names I wont say here. I feel done. So used and sick of it.
