I get these moments of panick... stress... overwhelming nervous feelings. Sometimes they make me sick. The thought of still having to prep everything for tomorrow, waking up at 6 in the morning, going to class, changing into work gear then commuting downtown for work after class with my huge bags of massage therapist gear, I look so unprofessional with all that stuff, hair all over the place from carrying all that on the long walk to work, it's embarassing to walk into the office like a tramp with a mobile home on her back... then at work it's so fast paced and demanding and stressful... and once i can leave there I having to stess again and run to the bus for 30 mins cause if i miss it it s another hour wait to commute back home, lugging around my huge pack of stuff, I don't get home till 10pm, barely have the time to eat before crashing out in exhaustion, no time to review courses or homework, I have exams and expectations and other things to do... which are stressing me out but I do't have much choice, no time to do them. How can one live like this without support? Funny how when I feel loved I can take all this on and more and it doesn't even feel difficult... when you're down everything is a chore, so you can imagine just how much effort is needed to go through this lifestyle right now... yes i m still trying to do my stuff while on this emotional rollercoaster ride, I fear a burnout very soon... i m doing my best to stay on track, I just feel like quitting my job but i can t afford to, i need to save money, i have to build a backup plan for my life, I need to have $$ in order to eventually leave this situation if I have to!
I feel so negative right now, I don t like it. I m dreading tomorrow.
Stresses me out so much that I don't even have the strength to prepare for it... I'm wasting time procrastinating when I should be sleeping. I don't get it. Maybe I'm just so scared of tomorrow that doing what is necessary to prepare for it freaks me out so I avoid it.
I just feel like sleeping right now and not waking up for a while. Or only waking up to eat and read and run.
I know I need to take control of my life cause it's getting out of whack but I'm not quite sure what to do.

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...
I'm not trying to scare you with my story, I'm just saying sometimes we need to take time out to heal and rest. Even if we have to create that time. Going back to go forward, y'know?
Anyway, if you ever need to talk I'm here for you. (hugs)
