I have done a lot of positive moves for myself the past week or more, both on the self-care front as well as trying to get my life going again - finding work. But this world is so scary and I keep stupidly watching the horrible things on the news, so it has been making me feel extra untrusting of the world outside of my house. But trying my best to keep positive.
In this moment I am feeling pretty normal, which is to say a great relief. But I am not sure if that’s because I am still in some measure of denial. It is not like I have a real full-time job lined up and my financial situation is still scary to say the least. And I have yet to cross the thresh-hold of going back into a workplace environment for the first time in over 5 years and that is a big old Question Mark in my book.
I really don’t understand how people are able to grit their teeth and bare these anxieties in life. I have felt so powerless against my own fears that I sometimes think of them as my own personal Grendel.
I wish there was magical advice or help people could give to people like me. But I do appreciate all the support I’ve found here since I have arrived. I don’t think I could have made this far and be in the state of mind I am in right now with out it. Thank you all.
