Feeling anxious and overwhelmed

I am feeling so overwhelmed and anxious today. I have so many things to complete for school and I feel like I am losing the battle. I have been fantasizing about cuddling up with a bottle of white wine since yesterday. I don’t know why I am struggling so much this week… I guess it could be because I have been dealing with a lot lately. School has been on the backburner. I used to love school but this program I am in now is not right for me at all. I am only still doing it because of all of the time and money that I have already invested. I haven’t really been taking the best care of myself today either and that might be contributing to this awful mood I am in…plus hormones, not fun. I have enough work to do from now until midnight. I feel completely out of sorts and I just got home last night after a long absence. I am not sure if I am being too hard on myself, or not hard enough. I am used to feeling organized and on top of things but lately I just feel like a mess. I am just going to try and get thru tonight, stay sober and complete the work I need to do. But above all, stay sober. Thanks for being here SR.

Hey I had a really crappy week and especially day yesterday. I was restless, irritable and discontented and also fantasizing about a bottle of wine. I'm happy to tell you that the feelings passed (as they always do) and I am SOOOO grateful to have woken up this morning feeling better, without a hangover, without any regret or remorse for my actions. We gotta get through these tough times and it is hard but it gets better. Stay strong! Xo

Remember to treat yourself gently sometime soon Flying . You deserve a day off to do something good and healthy for yourself .

As a drunk i was always trying so hard to drive myself , some kind of raving perfectionist , I've had to learn how to wind down and plan in relaxation time before i collapse and not after ..

Bestwishes, m

Totally hear where your coming from. I've been on edge all week. Wanting to drink and not deal with my problems. Hang in there...
