Slipping

#lemon8diarychallenge

I keep catching myself slowly slipping back into a dark place. I’m not trying to. I’m trying to stay positive. My house is a mess, I’m forgetting things….everytime I feel overwhelmed I zone out or go to sleep to avoid it. I’m working over 50 hours a week and as a big girl that’s been taking a toll on my body. I just want to feel normal again. My birthday is in 10 days and I’m hoping I enjoy it. I’m turning 32! And then the week after my birthday I’m taking the week off to enjoy a small staycation! I’m also hoping to have some money to do some spending and decorate or restock my pantry 😂 today I’m off and today is my cleaning day and I am feeling extremely overwhelmed. I never know where to start or how or what supplies to use. I usually just pick and choose what I want to do and the worst part is started my period yesterday so my energy levels are at 0 😂😂 wish me luck because today is not the day 😂😂😂❤️

Feeling overwhelmed can often lead to slipping into a dark place, especially when juggling work and personal life. It's essential to acknowledge your feelings and find effective ways to cope. Consider establishing a cleaning routine that breaks tasks into smaller chunks, allowing you to manage your living space more easily. This can lift some of the burden and help you reclaim a sense of order. Planning a staycation can also be therapeutic, providing you the opportunity to decompress without the stress of travel. Set aside time for rest, self-reflection, and enjoyable activities that you love. Engaging with hobbies or working on home projects can be revitalizing. In addition, practicing mindfulness and patience with yourself is crucial, especially when experiencing energy downtimes. Communicate your needs to those around you, and don't hesitate to seek support from friends or communities that can lift your spirits during challenging times. Keep in mind that it's perfectly okay to seek help when needed.
