I guess ever since last fall when my Mom got sick again, I’ve been having a really hard time emotionally. It just seems I find something to make my life worse. I really want to work on being positive again, but I encountered another difficulty today. I got to share 2 songs today, and I think the 2nd one hurt the only other client left in the room and she left. The fact that I think she cried in the other room really got to me and I wish I wouldn’t be so blunt.
To make a long story short, I had such high hopes when I moved out of my Mom’s house, but it just seems to have made things worse.I just don’t have the energy to get supper some nights and sometimes I sleep through medication doses at night. I’ll talk about this with my support worker tomorrow and pdoc on Friday.
@anon96671092 My mom injured her back in August. I know it can be hard when a parent is sick. I slept through my sleeping med dose and woke up at 4 am. I’ve had a rough day.
You live on your own now, that is a big deal. I haven’t gotten that far. Remember to be proud of yourself for that. Do you have any goals you are working on? Goals seem to help with self esteem and mood if you do a little bit each day to accomplish them.
Thanks, @metime. I guess part of my problem is that I care too much sometimes. In recent years I’ve tried to toughen up, but people affect me. Some people have suggested getting a girlfriend, but if this is me not in a relationship, I’d hate to think what I’d be like in one. Even if I did meet someone really great, it could really suck the energy right out of me. Although, I think I may be kind of lonely that way.
