Desire

 

I realized something today. That I have stopped living life. I am literally just trying to get to the next day. Just living in the thought of tomorrow. I’m not living. I’m waiting. And the trouble is. I have no idea what it is exactly I am waiting for. To tell you the truth, I’m kind of scared for what that might be.

Having anxiety and depression is like being scared and tired at the same time. It’s the fear of failure, but not having no urge to be productive. It’s wanting friends but hating socializing. It’s wanting to be alone but not wanting to be lonely. It’s caring about everything and then caring about nothing. It is feeling everything at once and then all the sudden feeling paralyzingly numb. It’s like drowning beneath the waves but your dying of thirst.

I don’t think people realize how much strength it takes to pull your own self out of a dark place mentally.

Until next time,

Tim

Leave

  I’m not okay. This week has been stressful. So much, in fact, I had to take a medical leave from Humana. It began today and will last through most of March. Though I am relieved somewhat, I still am fighting some of those internal demons that constantly haunt me. During my last visit with the doctor Erin, she knew immediately, without a word, that something was wrong. She noticed, and we discussed these stressors on several visits prior to my last one.

I feel as though my heart is a runaway train, racing uncontrollably and leaving me uncertain of its eventual destination. Whether it’s anxiety, fear, overwhelm, burnout, depression, ADHD, or simply the fast-paced world we live in today, my mind reached its breaking point. Overcoming and shaking off this feeling is l...

Forever

  So, I am finally coming to terms that I am not a forever type of person in most people’s lives. I mean, I’m okay to be a conversation when it’s needed, or I’m a person they call on when they need something. I am a placeholder or I’m a stand in. I am barely an option at the moment once they get whatever it is they need. Then they leave, and I am stuck holding onto feelings or emotions that drain me or cause me heartache. Accepting that realization that I am not a forever type person in people’s lives is reality. I have a tiny group of people that check on me regularly and for that; I am grateful. Most others fall into the category above. Until next time, Tim
