Breakdown

Today/tonight/I have been experiencing a breakdown! I am cleaning, in detail, like crazy as my mom gets home from Canada in about twenty-four hours and I have been crying so hard that I have vomited from it and had to take one 1mg Lorazepam and another a half hour later.

I do not know what is wrong with me!!!!!

I just had to vent...back to cleaning...sigh.

Thanks for lending an ear.

Stop cleaning! Your health is what is important to your mother! You seem to be teetering on a relapse and I want you to settle down and lay down and maybe have a warm bath and some hot tea. I'm having some hot tea now in the hospital and waiting for my next shift and my meds!
Seriously, make yourself relax. It's way more important. If your a mess when your mom does arrive that won't be any fun either!

Your mom will appreciate what you have already done.

Now it's time to care for yourself too...

Your mom will apreaciate the time you have togeather no matter how your home looks. I know exactly what you are feeling. i do the same thing. I always want my home to look good so i clean to the point of making myself sick but then im no good to enjoy the company. you must stop worrying about the way things look and focus on keeping yourself healthy so you can enjoy the time you have with your company. Its much better to waste all your energy playing and feel sick the next day because you had a blast than to feel sick while your company is there in a clean home. I hope you enjoy your time with your mom.
