It&#8217;s even worse when you wake up in the middle of the night thinking that the nightmare is over, only to have it resume upon falling back to sleep. I know these dreams are definitely related to the inordinate amount of stress that I am currently feeling. Today needs to be an easy, relaxed day where I work on things\/projects that provide enjoyment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I do not think this week is going to be as bad as last week though. I believe it will be somehow just a little bit easier. I am not taking on any additional shifts at work, even if asked. While I know I need the money, I need to relax and recuperate so I do not have another week where I teeter on mental health collapse. It is incredibly hard to talk oneself down from the ledge once in a week, let alone three times. It was entirely too much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I don&#8217;t know what I am going to do today. I think I have some grand plans in trying to start this free class on Intuit QuickBooks. I don&#8217;t know that I will have the concentration to do so, but if I do not try, I fail by default. I may even feel better for just getting one of the lectures completed. At the very least it will be something. I notice that I am feeling very angry right now. Explosively so! I don&#8217;t know why but my patience is nil. Being angry is easier than breaking down and crying. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I also have a feeling that I will be written up at work today. I was so mentally done on Friday that I called out of work. I didn&#8217;t even want to think about going in. So, I am waiting for the supervisor to hand me the write up form on Tuesday when I go in for my 10am-6pm shift. Of course I will refuse to sign it because I never sign those things. Maybe I should search for work today instead of trying to build a business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I hate it when I have dreams about all of the things I have regretted doing and all of my personal failures.
