Had a rough discussion with ex/co-worker which set off a chain reaction of anxiety, lack of confidence in handling the project alone, sadness and a feeling of, “what’s the point”.
I suspect listening to the subs might have either put me in that mental spot or perhaps added fuel to the circumstance.
I felt my energy tanking but somewhat bearable.
Feb 2 & 3 - Days 16 and 17
I took a break. Feb 2 was mixed with panic, anxiety about work assignments, extreme lethargy. I found myself physically worn out and curled up in my bed during the breaks I took every hour or so since I mentally couldn’t focus.
Dreams: I saw my beloved. I felt his energy and I knew it was him, yet, physically, he appeared as my first boyfriend that I had a long term relationship with. In this dream, I ask my beloved if he was going to text me (we are not in touch since last October). He said yes, Jan 18/19. I then say I couldn’t wait for him to reach out so I did before mid Feb (which is his birthday). Well, we’re in the month of Feb now and I’m yet to hear from him. This dream could have been triggered by the fact that I found myself watching lots of “Pick a card” readings on YouTube where almost all the readings tell the story of our love and inevitable reunion.
Feb 3 (today) was when I hit a low point physically. I found my entire body aching, still reeling from the dream and longing to hear from my love. I felt myself fearing forgetting his face, hearing him say my name and smiling at me with such love filled eyes. I found myself curled up on the bed for an extended period of time in between work. I set my laptop on my bed and moved the mouse each time Skype went dormant just waiting for nightfall so I wouldn’t have to answer to anyone at work.
I spent some time with my family watching a feel good movie. Then I headed to take a shower and almost crashed to the ground. My arms went numb. My chest got tight. I changed into something comfortable and slipped into my bed and skipped my entire night routine (something I picked up a month ago almost involuntarily where I pamper myself).
It has been 3 days since I journalled here and despite feeling an undercurrent of, “What’s the point. Good times and peace don’t last too long anyways”, I decided to push past and write this down. I don’t know if this is an even worse reconciliation phase than I hit last week (lasted about 2 days). This phase, it’s already been 3 days and I still feel so hopeless and unable to detach from the worries of the future and desires of the heart.
A random scenario popped into my head, what if I had some disease and was given only 6 months - 1 year to live, what would I do? How would people (excluding my extremely loving and supportive family) treat me? Will my beloved then reach out to me and make up? Will everyone that hurt me feel regretful and apologize? Maybe this is a form of escapeisim or my soul hurting.
There’s also an extremely subtle yet strong undercurrent of guilt and hopelessness when it comes to my diet. My joints have started aching, perhaps unable to support such a weight on a not so very tall frame. Clothes getting tighter, back arching into a limp. I seem to be binging without being able to stop. For a second, just a second, I had a thought. Either waking up in a reality where I have everything I want or not waking up in this reality at all. Falling into a slumber and waking up when everything is okay.
This has gotten too long without it being my intent. I don’t know if I should continue listening or take a longer break until I feel better to go back to listening.
