today while at work
things are good today, feel healthy and not so burdened by anxiety. I think I have to find work that involves some sense
of who I hope to be and what I care about...I know survival is essential - and having a job and making that income to take care of myself is essential.
Maybe when I start to work at California Wildlife Center that will be and involve more of what I am about.
I feel selfish for talking about this.
Today while at work I felt delicate but I worked hard and it was like I was just working in my own world, amongst others who were working in their own worlds.
Then one of my coworkers started to give me a hard time - and I half jokingly said "Whoa there!"
I came home and now I kind of need to find what relaxes me or what seems worthwhile. Is it that I hold myself to a high standard
and can't deliver an acceptable form of being productive with my time?
It's weird I think I am learning that I am a part of a group or many groups. I wish I could find something that was a fulfilling good use of my time... maybe this is it. Maybe writing my feelings and experiences is what relaxes me and feels like I am keeping my spiritual or emotional house in order.
I started reading the Bible recently and that has been really gratifying. Will write more later.

why do some people seem to have emotions during the day (like my house manager) but she isn't burdened by medicines or a limited horizon. She's constantly engaged on the telephone chatting away or talking about Jesus or crying about life miseries. I feel trapped and cut off. ok baby steps I hate this I go back to zero all the time and maybe I am talking about life's miseries and self soothing in my own ways. I want to reach for food - etc..
I, too, get a lot out of my journal writing. Besides writing it here on DS, I also write it down in an actual paper journal. It helps me put organize my thoughts and relax. Glad your Bible reading is gratifying.
thanks becky!
I am about to watch the news. I had a difficult online experience on FB earlier. I want to complain.
Everyone has got to deal with shit like this. I feel weak with an emotional headache. This is the place I put this crap. It'll be ok.
