Rough Day Yesterday

By Nyt

· 837 views

I found out that I was denied unemployment assistance. I was expecting being denied but it still hit me like a ton of bricks. I cried and sobbed so hard last night. My poor husband didn't know what to do. I was so upset that I didn't even want to get up this morning. It was like, "What's the point?" But like this journey, I got up anyway; one step at a time.

 

I found myself wishing for things to be different so much last night. I was wishing I had never gotten my band. Mostly because it's another bill to pay. So long story short, my depression started to take over and make me feel hopeless. Didn't help that I ate most of a bag of Munchos yesterday and 2 turkey soft tacos last night. Trying not to dwell on the mistake since it WILL happen. Found out about the rejection letter after dinner though.

 

I'm better today. Not 100% better but still okay. Going for a walk, just like I'm supposed to. *sigh* Hard to deal right now.

 

I can do this. I know I can do this.

    awww, I;m so sorry for you. It will get better. Just look back at all the hard times, and how you made it through it. You never think you will but you always do. It will be the same this time. It may seem like it lasts forever, but before long you will look back and say to yourself. "well I made it, dont know how but I did". So what you ate somethings you thought you shouldnt have, Its not like you do it everyday, right?? Keep your chin up and cheer up, you think better when your happy. Take care of yourself, and good luck.

    Hey lady, you hang in there. We all go through adversity. Things will be okay jump back on track today. Do not let depression take you there. It's not worth it. Let me know what I can do to help. I will send you my video and maybe that will cheer you up! Give me a few. Hang in there.

    Thank you all so much. I love this site for the purpose that it was designed for. To talk to others that aren't going through this journey it seems harder because they can't quite understand completely. The support that we all give each other is great and helps so much. I'm better today and know that it's a new day. Every day is a new day. I think I found the reset button... it's called midnight. =)
