Tues, July 20
Feeling pretty out of it. I have four hours until I have to go to work, and when I get back it's basically sleep time. Since I'm feeling dissociated out (have been for some days now) I'm debating how to spend this time.
Should I go to the shop and get a snack? Should I cook something to eat tomorrow? Should I play some games with my friends? Should I just take a nap?
I'm feeling so drowsy. I had to get up a bit early today for driving practice. I got home soon after 10. It's an hour and a half later now, so I must have crashed for an hour and a half. Just so tired. I have things to do, my final exam is on Friday, I have art overdue, but it's so hard to muster up the energy or the will. I think I'm overthinking it. It's causing me a lot of anxiety. I feel like I must do this, must do that. Very few things are absolute musts in this world.
They aren't musts, but they are shoulds. When I dissociate I lose the ability to tell the difference and process them separately. So.. maybe the best course of action is to try meditating for an hour before I do anything else.
My mom made some soy sauce beef soup over the weekend. It's really good. I'm making noodle soup with it

The soup looks delicious. I just got a notification for this journal, if you can believe that. I'm so sorry you are so dissociative right now. Try to focus on the present moment. Smell something, taste something, touch something, listen to something to get you into the present moment. My poor dear. I hate to hear that you are like this right now. Much love.
