in my defence

I have no excuse.
Mumsy texted me this morning and I still haven't replied. I know I worried her on the phone last week, but Oompf is making life a little difficult at the moment. He's gone off for a wander, you see.
Weekend Life is amazing. I sleep, I chill, I don't ache so much. Even my tummy settles down. I don't pull the top layer of skin off my lips until my lip bleeds, or the skin around my thumbs until that bleeds. I still feel a certain numbness {hence my inability to reply to a text} but it's a numbness without pain or anxiety.
And tomorrow is Monday. Monday brings Exhaustion, Nervous Anxiety, and Icky Belly into my life.
I think there's something wrong with me, over and above the depression and anxiety. Husband thinks there's something wrong with me. I think he's been to see young Mr Google and enquired as to what my symptoms may mean.
I don't tell you this for your pity or to hear your sympathetic words of kindness. I tell you this because I need you to tell me to go to the doctor. I also tell you this because I need someone to hear the things I can't utter in Real Life.
This is not a woe is me post. The internet is simply a useful tool which enables me to get my thoughts out of my head.
In other news, we saw Manchester by the Sea yesterday. Casey Affleck? Phwoar! Yes, please!
Nightie night.

@Poppylicious That's a whole new ball game!! But maybe some short term anxiety may be worth it the long run.

I think this particular bout of pain, aches and lowlessness are partly job related, but not wholly. I can pinpoint other factors too. The idea of finding a new job fills me with anxiety!!

@poppylicious Young My Afleck doesn't really do much for me and certainly wouldn't assuage my anguish and anxiety. A girl I was engaged to up until our marriage prescribes herself gripping TV dramas for anxiety but they only work till the end credits roll and then the tears start to roll again.

Baths and quiet for me. Neither of these are things I can do at work, which is where I need them, sadly.
