Very Stressful Day
I have had a very very stressful day that I need to share about. But I will try to keep it short.
My sister has learning disabilities and mental health problems. She normally lives in supported housing but for the time being she is back with us in the family home. Today I went with her to look at some new accommodation and we had quite a nice day and she seemed to be in an okay mood. We had dinner and then I went upstairs to shower and chillout.
So I was chilling out when I heard some almighty shouting coming from downstairs. I ran downstairs to see my sister holding my mum up by her throat whilst my little brothers were trying to figure out what to do. My younger brother broke into tears and I had to attempt to restrain my sister whilst being pummeled in the struggle. So that happened.
I have spent the last few hours incredibly stressed and anxious. My sister left for a bit but is now back in the house. She will be in emergency accommodation tomorrow. I spoke to my sponsor, I rang a friend. I drank some nettle and peppermint tea. I didn't think of using. I thought about calming down somehow but I didn't wanna pick up.
I'm being sent a lot of tests at the moment. I know they build my character but at the moment I am right in the middle of one so I won't fully appreciate it until this moment has passed. Tomorrow I am going to London for a date with a Suicide Girl (for those who don't know they are like alternative/punk models...and that's my thing) and I am planning to go round the Natural History Museum and just chilling out.
I needed to vent, thanks.

Thank goodness you were sober and able to handle the awful situation with your sister. Hopefully she will be safely taken care of tomorrow.
Try to relax and enjoy the day tomorrow.
