Ugh, It's Just One of Those Days

Today was just one of those days. Every little thing upset me, I couldn't get rid of my anxiety and I couldn't focus on anything. And to top it off, I didn't want to touch anything and yet I did anyway. 
I also didn't feel like I was good enough. Why? I know I am more than just good enough. Yet I feel myself going down a dark alley but I can't turn around. I hate when this happens. 

I have done so good lately and I have made some extremely good accomplishments recently. However, it has mentally exhausted me. So much that I struggle doing things for myself and not things that I have to do to make myself comfortable, but me time. I need some me time pretty bad. My therapist had to point that out to me today which was a shock to me.

Today it hit me, I don't like doing anything again. I don't have motivation to do anything for myself. I DO have motivation to do anything for my little pups and my hubby. They are my life. Honestly if it weren't for the pups today, I think I would have stayed in bed all day and worked from bed as well.

I did manage to treat myself today. After my therapy appointment, I took myself out to lunch. This was a nice break. I was alone and not with a friend or anything yet I enjoyed it. I typically don't like to eat lunch alone yet I do it from time to time anyway. Sometimes you just have to. 

As I sit here tonight on my couch with my pups, I realize how depressed I am again. OMG it pisses me off that I am depressed. I mean, I love my life and I am so happy that I am back in CO. I had a wonderful time with my mom and aunt. There is absolutely no reason for me to be depressed, none at all. But yet, I just can't get out of this dark alley, it is like a wrong turn and you can't get turned around and back on the right path fast enough. 

I am truly blessed to have the family and friends I have to talk to about this. Even though they might not totally understand what I feel like and why, they are always there for me to talk to. I pray that every one of you have that as well. At least one person, that person could be the difference in your life and what direction you turn when you are in the dark alley. Please find someone to talk to, I know I couldn't do this on my own.

Support and Teamwork

Tonight the softball team I coach had a game, and I have to throw in that they won too! These girls are in 4th and 5th grades which can be a really difficult time for girls. I gotta say I am extremely proud to call them my team.  They are so incredibly supportive of each other. The girls are at all levels of softball, some have never played while others have played several years. No matter what, they support each other like the team that they are. They have each other's back.  So much so that one of my girls came up to me after an inning and let me know what she heard from the other team when she was a runner at 2nd base. She told me that the other team's shortstop was bullying the centerfielder so bad while she was on second getting ready to run she saw the centerfielder girl cry. That upset her she said and that she thought I should know. She was right, I should know about this so I could let the other coach know this happened. It upset me to hear this as well. Yet...

OCD in Control

It's been a week since I posted because I have had my mom and aunt in town visiting from Michigan. It was a wonderful week with them and I they had a great time while they were here. My mom and aunt both know about my daily struggles and are aware it has gotten worse since the last time I saw family back in MI. But they haven't seen how controlled by my OCD I am before this visit. I was really good though and very proud of myself. I am mentally exhausted, but nothing that they did. They were great. I honestly think that my mom got more upset about things that upset me than I actually did. LOL! If something that bothers me happens, I just explain that it upsets me and do what I need to do to feel better about the situation.  I feel it was harder on them than it was on me for them to be visiting. I know that I asked a lot of them and I am sorry. It isn't that I didn't want them in my house at all. Just the opposite. Them being here actually was a huge help. I know...
