So happy to hear things got better for you.

When I read your post, I remembered feeling exactly the same way and recalled what my sponsor said to me about what to do when feeling overwhelmed:

"Call your sponsor and anyone else who supports you. The more people you talk to about how you feel, the more that burden is removed from your shoulders." There's something about saying it out loud, [typing], that breaks the burden down and the tension about it is significantly lessened.

Also, as others have suggested, I was advised to do only what I could do for today. Just because we got sober doesn't mean we become superwoman overnight

Ask: "what can I do today?" and do those things. Everything else will follow...

Take care. Good call on the mental health day. I'm feeling like I'm due one of those myself...:rotfxko
