As I write this, I do not feel good about myself.
Due to my current condition with the virus I have been stuck at home for the past several days. Throughout the weekend I was bored, although I did start to do some packing for the move. In these first few days of the week I did work remotely, though I informed the team of my sickness. I already planned to take the last two days of the week off, however now I think I will take tomorrow off as a sick day.
Not only is the virus giving me a hard time, but also I now feeling mentally burdened. To be clear, I am feeling unwell and am thinking unwell. 
This train of thought started gaining serious traction today due to another unfortunate video-watching session. The negative feelings that arose out of that really made me think, am I actually happy doing this?..sure I have to stay at home all the time right now due to the virus, but is this really the way to go?..I doubled down on stuff I learned about from EasyPeasy. I reviewed it and looked at a lot of posts from people who had struggled despite reading EasyPeasy and I got inspired to affirm a lot. I spent a relatively large amount of time today to get myself into the right frame of mind, that now I am committed towards being free and living my life without the useless behavior.
I wish eating was more effective at helping me feel better. I’ve lost most of my sense of taste, my appetite has reduced a lot and my stomach bloats way too easily when I eat anything. In some ways it has become a chore to consume so that my body can recover. Yet at the same time it has helped (albeit temporarily) to take my mind off of these crazy thoughts. However here I am again, after having a probiotic :-\
Why else do I not feel good? It is that my enthusiasm for the move has decreased a lot. Moving day is just a few days away and I had to get the virus now? With all of these different symptoms? It is frustrating. I do not feel ready for it due to all the things I have not boxed or packed yet. This is funny because I already know that I won’t be able to complete the move on move-in day; I wouldn’t want to move in while I am still dealing with these symptoms. And in the moments before I sat down to write here, I started to get a little fearful. Fearful that I’m not ready for this move, for this next phase of my life. Where I would not be supported by my family as much. Where I’m gonna need to tackle the challenges coming up on my own. I felt a little scared, like I was about to get pulled away from my oh-so-familiar surroundings into foreign territory.

Rebuttal:
It’s not that bad. There’s no specific date I have to leave the house by, just a date when the lease starts. I can move to the place once I am fully recovered. Nobody is giving me a hard deadline to leave this house and never come back. I’m going to be in driving distance of my parent’s place, and yes I can come back to visit at least. The “territory” I’m moving to? I’m going to be living with my best friend. There’s nothing that’s hostile about this situation that I should be worried about. Yea, there are some new challenges that will come up but it’s not as if they were ever going to be fully avoidable. I feel it right now that my sickness, lethargy and numbness is coloring my feelings and view of the whole situation.
But what do I do…
On top of all this, I had some thoughts about how my life is yet “incomplete” since there’s a few key things missing. However, I’m setting those aside right now. It’s unsurprising that not all is at 100% yet, that’s why I’m here at SC. It’s also not productive or helpful to think about those things right now, as they’re neither actionable nor time-bound. Focus on the current situation and what’s coming up over the next few days.
So I’m going to do just that. Recover well, both physically and mentally, and get ready to haul some items!
Plan for tomorrow:
- Taking a sick day off. I need to let myself rest physically, but also mentally. Working from home isn’t providing that. I also want to do some more packing, which will help me deal with one of the root causes of mental unwellness which is a sense of unreadiness for the move.
- Run LBFH + MFO.
