Feel blah today. Feel tired, never sleep well anymore. Stomach and thighs getting bigger by the millisecond. Lots of backlog at work. Took work home and ended up doing 2% of it and crying because I had to take it home in the first place. Drank too much as usual and husband went to bed alone as usual. Don't feel that I am worth much at the moment. Can't focus on my work, ate too much bread this morning, no wonder weight is as it is. No willpower. Feel angry at myself, angry at God, angry because I have to take medicaton, angry at life, angry because I'm angry and it's such a useless, unproductive emotion. And none of this is good for me and that doesn't matter because I can't help it anyway or I don't care anyway or something like that and when I write in riddles like this and use these enormously long, incorrectly phrased sentences then I know I am rambling or as my H would say "talking too much".
All I can think about is crawling into a dark comfortable place with my bed and pillow and eating lots of junk food.
OK, now I'm being boring.
Another huge sighhh!

hi sabrina..i hear you! i feel totally blah today, too..:(how is the med situation going..perhaps you may need to reevaluate your meds..sounds like you're depressed, dear. i'm not sure which meds you're taking but with your alcohol issues you should probably take a med that elevates dopamine, as well as other neurotransmitters possibly. (i know when i was taking prozac i got this really strong urge to drink, which is unlike me. this was due to prozac lowering dopamine.) you might be self-medicating. hope your day perks up! :)

hey, sabrina,
just wanted to let you know that i'm sorry i haven't reviewed your poem..i'm afraid if i read it the despair it depicts might draw me in, and i won't be able to come back out (i'm very prone to intense introjection)..i have to guard my thoughts very carefully..i hope you understand..

I don't care if you're angry... I like you for who you are not just for what I see or what you do. You are so much more than that to me...!

**Well, little lady you are not alone wondering about this phenomenon.
Lots of backlog at work. Took work home and ended up doing 2% of it and crying because I had to take it home in the first place.
**Me too. what's with all this work?Drank too much as usual and husband went to bed alone as usual.
**what are we twins????
> Feel angry at myself, angry at God, angry because I have to take medicaton, angry at life, angry because I'm angry and it's such a useless, unproductive emotion.**I find anger is quite productive. I just don't like feeling it.
> All I can think about is crawling into a dark comfortable place with my bed and pillow and eating lots of junk food.
**I am crawling into the tub with lots of hot water and the smell of Lavender. I need a break. How about you?
Please for two seconds take a deep inhale.
remember that you are important....to yourself and all of us out here. We love you.

Thanks Jai. Yes I need a break.
Can't get myself to relax in a tub.
Makes me too sad to see myself.Audit time at work, always goes crazy.
Am still trying to recover from January's burnout!Don't like feeling my anger either.
Could use a few lessons on productivity!Thank you for making me feel important and loved Jai

Not so angry today but kinda dopey. Feeling very sleepy and I *think* I slept ok. Well, don't remember going to bed actually.
I'm sitting further and further away from my computer. My stomach is in the way. I have unbuttoned and unzipped my jeans and just hope no-one comes into my office.
I was asked "how far along" I am yesterday. I didn't have the energy to get angry. I couldn't come up with a fast retort either. Any suggestions?

Reading that (sorry if this is inappropriate timing) made me laugh at something that happened to me once.
I was standing at the credit union teller's window (wearing a flowing non-form fitting dress) and the lady asked me when the baby was due.
I told her I wasn't expecting, I'd just gained a bit of weight.
Her answer??? "Good. I *thought* you were too old for that."
