I felt fresh to start the morning and get on with work. Soon work stress and unexpected and unrealistic deadlines fell into my lap and I started to feel the pressure.
I shut my laptop past 6 (emotionally drained at this point). Headed to treat myself to a nice bubble bath amidst scented candles and calming music.
As I started to slip into my bedtime routine, I broke down and started weeping. My beloved came to mind and everything that went against us was brought up. My heart/chest hurt physically. I soon developed a headache. I calmed myself and slipped into bed.
Dreams
None that I can recall but I did not wake up feeling refreshed (today Day 23)
The right side of my head, neck, year and back of my eye were sore and throbbing (still is as I’m writing this). I woke up at around 5 and couldn’t go back to bed. I constantly kept visualizing a scene where my beloved and I have reunited already. This brought up more resistance and attachment and then I found myself looking for YouTube videos on how to detach since I felt so caught up in it at that moment.
I tried going back to sleep but couldn’t. I broke down again at around 8am and then worked up the courage to push past it all and brush my teeth. I feel okay as I am writing this.
I can’t help but wonder:
- am I just telling myself it is the recon from the subs and not dealing with something I’ve pushed away subconsciously?
- is this truly recon which is why I’m feeling this way and it’s a sign, a good one that things are going to get better
- is it the subs giving me headache and draining me of energy or just work stress compounding the effects of the sub
- why does my beloved keep coming up so often with there being an undercurrent of melancholy, nostalgia, longing and a bit of attachment? Are the subs bringing these up?
- what kind of action is advisable and recommended while listening to the combination that I am?
- How can I assess the positive impact from the subs at present?
Honestly, at this point (now), I feel like my emotional state has regressed back to where it was 5 months ago. The calm, peace and groundedness that I had started to feel at the start of this year seems to have slipped away and I’m wondering if this combination was the right choice for me.
I will still stick to the 30 days as I had initially set up mind. About 8 more days to go. I’ll take it easy and listen to utmost 2-3 loops per day given how I’m feeling and intend to see the positive effects of this sub.
