I need to shower eventually before heading to work. I have not in a couple of days because I just have not had the energy to. Bad Squirrel. Pdoc would not be pleased..but what he doesn't know won't hurt him.
I still need to clean my room as well...I am procrastinating on a lot of stuff lately. I just don't care sometimes. Hopefully, I can get my room clean before the lady I live with sees my room. It is pretty bad right now
Still worried about my brother. I just don't know how he got on the path he is on. I care about him, but don't understand his situation or mindset. I have my own personal garbage to deal with and now this only adds to it. I'm not mad, I just wish he'd change and get out of the vicious cycle he is in.
I need to go take my meds while I am thinking about it, so I don't forget and fail to take them.

I just read an article about ACE (adverse childhood experiences) that strongly links them to addictions. If he is like me, he doesn't understand why he does that stuff either. The article suggests that there are neurological changes that drive the addiction-that the use of substances/behavior is an attempt to stop the fight/flight response that gets activated by triggers that would not set off another person.
