Uggghhhhh im so damn tired. I was up at 230am again wide awake even tho I waa given ambien. Went back to sleep at 4 n up at 7. I hate my life. I hate myself. Im gonna b alone for the rest of my life. Nobodys gonna want me with all this extra baggage. No one. I hate myself today I feel ugly inside n out. Why am I even here? When I go home I gotta deal w my cars brakes bein out n findin 3 estimates. Gotta deal w havin no money cuz I have no job im on assistance but they only give $900 which takes care of rent but nothin else. Son has state hockey tourney in kenai so I gotta somehow find money for a room at hotel. Then I got my mom tellin me get a job in 30 days or get out. So im gonna have to find a new home but I cant afford a 3 bedroom apt for less than $1000. I hope my case manager will have some options for me. Too much stress. At least im out of the damn house. Too many reminders of all the crap I gotta take care of. Whatever im gonna nap now if I can.
Do you find exercise to be helpful? Deep breathing? Bubble baths?
Getting outside and exposing yourself to the sun (to get vitamin D), or taking vitamin D supplements helps me. I also find eating fish to be helpful, as well as potatoes, which are known to boost mood. Green vegetables are great, if you can stand them.
All the best : )
