I'm really struggling. My self care is dismal, my health is declining, another tooth broke off, I lost my Medicaid, my sister's boyfriend's mom only has a few days left to live because of cancer so I'm stepping up as a support for my sister, my husband doesn't know if he has a job anymore, and school is about to start. And I'm still doing all the chores. I want to die! I know it's so selfish of me especially with what's going on with the boyfriend's mom, but it's how I feel. I'm exhausted from life.

That does sound like a lot to deal with.

As cliched as it sounds one moment at a time.

Has H been fired? Or not been going to work?

I'm sorry about the tooth.

Can you email T for extra support right now?

Hugs, Scarlet. I think anyone would be overwhelmed by all of that. Could you reach out to your T?

Anyone move a lot and have any packing/sorting/throwing away advice ...any moving advice?

But it will be a good move once it’s done and I will be wistful but happier....
Moving is exhausting but exciting - hope it goes well

I dodged a bullet. He came late. Unlocked all doors. Turned on all lights. Heating. Good 5 mins settling in.

When i told him a coworker called me a ****** (curse word)and always picked on me. He tried to convince me that it was a compliment and i shud take it as such. I was like hmmm. No. That was offensive. He continued telling me i m looking at it the wrong way.

I did leave L a voicemail last night. Per our agreement, she should be calling me back some time today. I also emailed her telling her all that's going on. I hope I hear back from her soon.

Wanting to take a nap (had to wake up at 5:30 for an early therapy appt) but they're doing construction across the street.

Harumph.

Also feeling sort of sad and bored and empty.

I had Pastor T last night. It went okay. He's pushing me to give up SH (which I know I should, but....) so I'm really trying to think about that. Like what would that look like? How could I do that? What happens when I get sui because SH makes that stuff go away. Same with hallucinations. I'm going to talk more about it to Regular T when I see her on Saturday. I was overwhelmed last night though. I just went and laid down in bed after the session and needed to decompress. I need a clear head. On a positive note, I haven't had to take Xanax yet to get through the stress at work today. That's a positive! And my arms aren't hurting as much from the recent SH. Also positive. I didn't want to come to work today but I made myself. I'm wanting to isolate I think. Not sure what that is about. Self protection? Too much stress at work? IDK. I'm proud of myself for getting myself to work today. HUGS all, Kit

I am trying to decide on whether I will use an indoor cycle at home or not. I am not enamored of peloton but I am intrigued over something like ifit or zwick(I think that is the name of it)

Just don’t become like the Peloton Wife.

First excuse of the semester: “I am in an earthquake zone and may not be able to travel the next few weeks.”

May they all be as good.

Talked to L. I feel a little bit better. Luckily, I see her tomorrow so we can discuss more about boundaries with my family, and what to do now that I can't go to the hospital as part of my crisis plan since I no longer have insurance. I mean, I guess it's still there in dire emergency, but that's a fine line and I'm not sure I can recognize a crisis vs an emergency.

I think I'm getting kicked to the curb by my T, or at the very least that's how I'm feeling about what he said today. He said that sui thoughts have been persistent even with our treatment together, and maybe I need more to be helpful. Since I pay with state insurance, he wants to talk to the case manager to see if they know anything else that's out there. I feel like I'm doing everything possible and I don't want to terminate with T. I feel like he's been helpful. I hate this and I can't even talk to him about it without being in tears.

Oh, SheHulk, I’m sorry. That sounds scary. Though it doesn’t sound like he actually said you need to terminate; is there any chance your fears are getting ahead of you?
