Stuck In A Tailspin...

[SeanCharles]

Well...

Here I sit writing a depression thread...

I am not suicidal, not even thinking anything remotely related to self harm or self-injury. I am feeling overly anxious, frustrated, annoyed, and deeply depressed.

I am spiraling like the hams that our meat department expertly flame crafts on the holidays.

I am extremely unhappy with my employment situation even though it's a milestone, something I should be proud of my self for accomplishing, sadly I am not. The stress and high expectations are forcing me to the ground.

In part I know why I am feeling this negativity, I've been exposed to this for the past five of six years since I was hired by this company.

The other factor: I am having to care for a senior Emotional Support Dog who's been with me as a puppy! Now it's my turn to give her strength since she is going through some health issues (while I am also struggling with my own especially my PTSD).

Hugs Buddy.

I have been in spins myself, both litterally and figuratively. After my attack my father died right before I had a chance to see him again. Then two years later my dog got very sick from breast cancer. I can relate to how it feels when everything in life is being thrown at you. I hope Sheba improves and I hope that something lets up soon. In the mean while try not to let the creeps get you down. Ironically, recovery from a real spin is quitee easy but recovery from a spin in life is quite difficult.

Sheba has an appointment today. I'll see what the prognosis is and hopefully this will be good. If not, I'm considering a leave from work to work on me!
