Another Day

Well today is my birthday and yet I feel so down. Ive been sitting in my room crying just wanting what I feel to go away. I had a moment were I started feeling hot and my heart started beating fast feeling like I couldn't breathe. It always freaks me out and my first thought is I need to go to the doctor. I don't know why I think it because I've been so many times. I managed to somewhat calm myself before it got out of control. In these moments I feel like giving up but I know I cant. I hate when my kids have to see me like this. So I'm here writing this just trying to feel a little better.

And? ? ? Did writing it out help you feel any better? Just hoping. . .

Still listening, if you need to keep venting. . .

Here's to hoping your birthday gets better. For what it's worth, my birthday is next month and has already been upstaged by the first day of school. Sigh. . . NFF! ! ! (No Fucking Fair)

I wish birthdays would give us a pass to a happy peaceful day. The good part is that you are here now sharing your thoughts. It always helps me to find that I am not alone and that someone cares. May you feel better soon. Happy Birthday my friend.

@arfie writing did help to calm me even more. Its hard when I don't really have anyone to talk to. So just knowing somebody else hears me without judging me, without blaming me helps a lot. I hope your birthday is filled with smiles, love and happiness. Happy early birthday!

@two_fires I was already struggling this past week and I was really hoping today I would have some relief. It does help knowing you aren't alone because I do often feel that way. I think maybe I was a little to hard on myself also for not being 100% yesterday for my daughters birthday. Thank you for listening and your kind words. They mean a lot!

    I haven't written in my diary on my computer since May because I thought that my computer was dying.  I got away from writing but my computer is hanging in there.  I think that I will start writing in it again.  It's so therapeutic.
