Yesterday’s highlights were that I finally got on top of the laundry situation and after some research discovered that my problem may be dysthymia. It all seems to tie in; the major depressive episode, the anxiety, the alcohol misuse, low self-esteem, low drive, etc. I’ll discuss it with my consultant next time I see her and see what she thinks and if there is anything else we can do to tackle this problem.
I know my son loves me and wants my attention but sometimes it all becomes too much and I get worked up. I wish sometimes he would just let me be alone for a few minutes to recompose myself or finish whatever I am working on.
I got too easily frustrated on several occasions and need to remember to do my low breathing and not let it get to me. I was concerned about work more than I had been for some time. I’ll just need to wait until I get back to work after my sick leave and see what happens.
Today would have been better if I had done some exercise. At least I managed to get a yoga mat and some light weights. Need to start a proper exercise regime today. If the weather cooperates the three of us should take the dog out for a long walk. If not, we need to finish sorting out the house and garage.
Positives from today: I didn’t drink, I remembered some of the great things in life I have seen and experienced, I may have discovered something new about my psychology.
