I injured my arm. After all I’ve read and after all my experience I still can’t comprehend why it feels like a hug. And at the same time I feel ashamed of myself. I’m tired and sore from moving and probably a little over heated from the sun. I have test coming up this week and still more moving to do. Most of its done, just little things and the kitchen. I thought I was doing fine but when I looked at my schedule at work a little bit ago and saw they reduced my hours even more, down to 20/week instead of 40 I felt overwhelmed with worry and I excused myself to go SI. I’m torn between being ok with that because I feel comforted and disappointed in myself for not putting to use any of the tools I know work for me.
You have a lot going on right now. A test, moving, and now reduced work hours. Stressful stuff. It’s hard to deal with all of that and not go to the thing that has worked the best every single time. Hang in there! You will have another chance to use the better coping skills you have learned. And think of all of the times you have used them before. Hope this offers some comfort to you!
It does, thank you.
