NaBloPoMo ~ Home XII

Home.

First - obviously 'home court advantage' meant nothing as the Lakers lost. UP by 24 at one point. {sigh heavy sigh}

Home.

I am having trouble powering through the overwhelming feelings in order to do what I should. And when this happens, I want to curl up under the covers, avoiding everything. I haven't done that yet. Instead, I've been drinking a lot. A lot more than usual; *my* usual. And, I stay online. Just another avoidance behavior I'm perfecting.

Obviously, I recognize what's going. I'm just not stopping it. So...I'm going to see my therapist on Saturday morning. I haven't seen her in, like, 3 years. When all of this came down, I knew I'd be calling her. Only I thought the call would come after the whole process, in order to help me resolve this inner turmoil.

I'm stressing and not stressing. That's dangerous.

You're identifying the behaviors and admitting them....that's a HUGE step from where you used to be. Don't get discouraged...just think about things differently.

I used to be a horrible house keeper....i was online 99.9% of the time. So...as I began recognizing the problem, I came up with little "rewards"....instead of leaving the TV on while I "cleaned", I'd put music in instead...THEN, when I was done with what I wanted to do, I would turn on the tube. Instead of sitting down when you get home with your computer....throw a load of laundry in, sort through a stack of whatever...and THEN get online.

You're doing great, babe...don't get discouraged! ::hugs::
