Went to bed thinking, "tomorrow will be a good productive day"
Woke up and found that my mind won't stop with all the thoughts and hard as I try to take control of the thoughts and actions - I have been unable to.
So I do the same stupid time wasting events as the day before, or the day before that. Soon a week has passed with no real "work" to show.
Then I think that it is okay to take a little break. But the break continues.
New memories come to my mind and obsessive action starts up again.
Crazy how a group of people (father, grandfather, cousin, and some other unidentified people) can cause such an effect on a person. Even after such a long time.
I think it has gotten worse as time has went on.
I just want to focus my mind on work, get a productive day completed, then repeat that for the next 4 or 5 days.
Instead I am lucky to get 1 or 2 days of partial productive activity and then a week of nothing. Well nothing but dwelling on memories that are coming back to me.
I think some of my personalities are finally letting me have back memories of childhood. Which is good because I want to know what happened and then get to a point of forgiveness and then move on.
Problems is there are so many that are flooding back that I am paralyzed.

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
