It's been one of those days. Nothing is wrong but at the same thing everything is falling apart.
I am at my breaking point in relation to stressors. This seems a bit insane to most people because I don't have a very stressful job. Currently my mind is racing and I'm "reading" a lot of minds. Doing these unhealthy things cause me to get anxious and freak out. One of my long time solutions to becoming overly stressed is to go on a shopping spree. REALLY trying VERY HARD not to do this. I know deep down that this would not be a positive way of coping. Thus I begin to think of other things I could do which would have the same effect.
I could eat some candy...
doing this makes me think about my nine year old cousin who informed me that I've gotten "fatter" since the last time he saw me three years ago at my wedding. I know I've gained a little weight...going up one size in everything from dresses to tops but fat is not what I would use to describe this, yet I feel terrible thinking of it.
I could watch a movie...
this may just be a waste of time though because while watching the movie I'll end up falling asleep and not doing any of the laundry that's been piling up all week and needs to get done before I leave this weekend.
I should...
go running...just need to get over the fact that no one is willing to go with me.
I should...
clean...making a cleaner house will ease my anxious mind. Set the kitchen timer to 15 minutes and get done what I can.
I should...
get my perscription refilled even if there's not enough money. Shopping unnecessarily will not do my finances any good either but I'm considering that option. At least with medication I know that I will not be so stressed over such silly maters.
Question is what will I do when I get home after typing all of this up? Honestly I don't know. I really hope I will go running, then come home and get a little cleaning done. Finally relax with a nice bubble bath. That sounds healthy...no shopping for me.
I hope that's exactly what you did! Sounds like a pretty good option, even if it does include housework ;)
