Frustrated. I think I'm just gonna quit this job I don't think I can take it.

I'm a quitter... a loser... I know
I have been in your shoes many times. That feeling of being less than at the beginning of a job, even walked out of a good state job and regretted it for a long time. Just pointing out you're not alone in your feelings. And, you're definitely not a quitter or loser, the job just sounds overwhelming. I've quit jobs then got right back and started job hunting. *console

All over the place. Resting was just making me anxious so I went in my home office to do a bit of admin and look at my finances - really not sure where all my money is going so thought I'd better take a look at it. A few things I can get cancelled and might need to pay off some cards so I'm not paying minimum payments out. Still not quite sure where the rest is going as I've really cut down on buying crap at the supermarket. Guess the takeways also have to stop as it's pointless buying less at the shops then blowing it on take out, some days I am just so exhausted.

Also got a guy to agree to look at my window tomorrow morning, just asked on the offchance and he said he was in the area. So at least I've done something. I was daydreaming about writing a note explaining how I felt earlier, to explain why I'd CTB and thinking about how I'd do it. That scared me, I didn't think I was getting that close but the stress, anxiety and fatigue has been just been so hard lately.

Hoping I can find some balance between resting and doing and keeping the jitters under control.

Thank you Lane. I hope I can hold on at least for a little while

So sad my 3-days course in oil painting has ended. It was wonderful, such a great relaxed atmosphere and I learned a lot. The teacher is so friendly and we got to know each other really well. I could do this everyday. ♡
That sounds so exciting and relaxing. I hope you'll get to experience more relaxing stuff like this in future. More happiness *brohug

This is a little silly, but my tummy hurts. I’m not aware of what causes it, but sometimes my abdomen feels like one of HR Giger’s Aliens is trying to make its way out of my midsection. It comes on at random times, but my diet has been awful lately, and I’m wondering if this is my body telling me to eat some damn produce more often. I’m surviving lately on fast food and white bread. Occasionally a banana. I rarely feel hungry for anything else, but I can’t help but wonder if it might feel better to choke down a salad more often.

Not silly at all.
There are many causes of gastric pain/upset. Of course diet can be one, but there is GERD, IBS, etc. (probably more acronyms too)

Feeding yourself healthy food is good self care. I feel better emotionally when I care for myself in this way.

I hope you feel better soon.

I feel "fat". Yes, I used that word. I know its not PC, but its how I feel.

I've gained back 6 lbs. of what I lost and am so so so frustrated with myself and my inability to say "no" when I am upset.
Don't feel alone in this Angie. I AM fat! I eat when upset, but mostly when bored. I know it only relieves the boredom for a few minutes, but I still do it. It sucks!
