Ok, so I got laid off during the end of January.
Still working to continue my health insurance. My info gets stuck right before going through the 'Claims' department.
I can find plenty of things to do to take up my time. That is not a problem. This weekend I am volunteering and stuff.. but things are GETTING to me. Although it is appropriate, sometimes, I guess, I feel LOST & MAD a lot. Like right now. More lost, than mad. Lately I have been noticing a lot more things to clean in my house. Staying on a regular pattern of eating and sleeping works but I realize being sick and miserable and incapacitated held some positive aspects of "escape" for me. Being up during the day as healthy as possible and "trying" can be depressing. But, hell, you know I try.
A lot of people have been offering me help in the form of advice and most of it I am happy to take. I do not have a personal science of "figuring things out" on my own. Most of the time I just stick to my instinct of where I am supposed to be and focus on things that are important and interesting to me in my life. I feel that I am doing that and that I can do that but everything feels so worn out, used and flat. It is good- I feel like my passion is here (there) and I have energy for my interests and strengths but everything outside of me is at a standstill. I try not to consume or even get distracted by the waves of negativity, fragility and despair all around me but it is like I have a magnet in the back of my head. If I let the sadness all around me get me down I will be of no use to anyone, there will be nothing to even try with.
So, it is the middle of another day. None of my efforts to get on track have paid off today and there are still plenty of more hours left. So, I am OK. I am grateful for myself and I will continue on.
