Enforced holiday jolliness

Black times
Exhaustion
Anger
Chaos
Feeling of being used and manipulated
Need 5 days of complete rest

Enough

I just don't want to go on anymore. I am so lonely and so tearful. I haven't got anyone who I can really talk to, no one has any idea of how low I am.

I've no interest in life, I only keep going for the dog because I have to. No goals, just too tired to exist any more. It's all pointless. The daily battle to function, for what?

Yet ANOTHER year has passed, another trail of reminders of being a failure. Work has been a bad move, too public and so much stress and exhaustion.I want out. a quieter life. I don't want to wake up any more.

Drowning is a swamp of chaos

So a few stress triggers:
Nan dying
Brother's anniversary
Car exhaust and no money
Lump
Mum not well
Stress at work
Looming birthday and another marker for failure
Depression deepens
Bad friendships

Yes, I want to escape

Has life started?

Ever wonder when your life will begin? Those all around you are succeeding, progressing, moving forward.

Yet you stand still, solid, stuck, like sinking sand

Another year has past, yet another. Any progress, as if! What's wrong, why?

Uncertain

A strange day. Have managed to do some cleaning but now feel totally shattered. Not sure how I feel about having another person in the house again, having had a week on my own. I thought I'd feel lonely but I haven't. The breathing space has been good to get to bed early and do as I please.

I'm not sure what to say now. I feel like I've moved on from my feeling of longing to fit in and be wanted. Its like a lifetime ago for me me, rather than a week. I want a selfish week where there's no interruptions in the house.

What now

Where to from here? I really don't know. A week of turmoil, of not wanting to come home tonight and not knowing what to do with myself next week. I don't want to be upstairs every night, but maybe that's how it has to be from now on.

I need to find a way to afford to move out. Not sure what the answer is though. My life has taken on a smaller circle, ever decreasing. Move out and gain some moral substance back but being overdrawn ALL of the time.

She's back

A waring day at work today. I feel the behaviour of my cross to bear escalating.

Tiny digs, lots of joint bitching, such a tiring day. Home and no one to talk to before bed. Early night at 8pm. Didn't even bat an eyelid or feel shocked at admitting to a colleague wanting to overdose at the weekend. Life has taken on a different lethargy.

I know that although I'll have a week off next week, I won't feel refreshed but will be expected to be full on back to work. Wish I'd stuck to my plan and had this week off now.
