How Are You Feeling Right Now?

I am we - working hard at getting it together.🦋🐻
I had another bad night with flashbacks & intense suicidal urges/impulses. I emailed my psychologist & asked her if we could turn our in-person session today at 12 noon to a phone session instead. She said yes. I'm also worried about how I'm going to function when I go back to work next week full time. I pick up my new medications later today. I hope they'll help to settle some things down, specifically the severe flashbacks & body memories, & the suicidality. They're exhausting & traumatizing & interfere with my ability to function as I need to function.

Spoonful of sugar will help the medicine go down
Went to a food pantry and they gave us 10 bags of marshmallows a bag of mostly bad potatoes. A bunch of expired powdered drinks. 3 bottles of expired ketchup. A bunch of juice boxes and chocolate milk. Not sure how a family is supposed to eat with that. My grocery bill went from $75 a week to $200. Guess I will have to cancel house insurance and possibly my phone or electric/water. Just to eat.

Tired and a bit anxious, deflated. Been looking at jobs. I did a bit of searching and heard of people who'd joined the civil service in their 50s. Lots of posts from people saying they joined at 40, 50 and even 60. So I trawled 297 jobs on the civil service jobs site and there isn't a single one I would even be remotely qualified for, short of apprentice, which wouldn't work as it wouldn't even cover my outgoings even if I did somehow manage to blag my way into it (which is unlikely with 1000s of fresh unemployed graduates out there). So I've no idea how these people managed to get civil service jobs at the age they did. Probably did a lot of work in corporate at management level or something and are just moving from private to public sector so it's not like they're starting afresh, really. Seems to be no place for a person with a hodge podge of work experience and patchwork of employment/self employment. 😒
