Annisworkingonit's Journal, 18 Jul 24

Good morning FS friends

So ate my feelings yesterday. Hating this emotional rollercoaster of grief. Totally screws with your head. Not sure why I thought food would increase my energy levels. It didn't. Because of the carb loading it made me sleepy. Thought I wouldn't log the day, but did so this morning. Turns out it actually wasn't as bad as I had thought. 700 calories over the 1200 cal budget.

Good thing today is another day. Back to the program. Am so close to goal that it is one thing in my life I can control. A cooler day as well so a good day to go out and tackle the ginormous weeds. Theres a 7 ft thisle growing in the back part of the property which will take a shovel to dig out.

My struggle at the moment is with lack of attention span and brain fog. I'll start on one task, not complete it, then start another. Have decided that today I'll focus on digging out the tall tap rooted weeds and nothing else. Just that. Figure on the smaller and mid sized stuff on another day. The good news, with all the rain we've been having the ground is soft.

And so I muddle on. Another day passes.

Over and out.

It takes time to come out of the fog on the other side. They have support groups if you need them. The only good thing for me about winter is no weeds and bugs and snakes.

Hi Morticia. I'm not allowed to attend a support group until 3 months have passed. At that point the grief counsellor will enrol me in a group. In the meanwhile am taking other steps to process all of this. Tired of tears that seemingly come out of the blue at the stupidest of triggers.

My heart was so broken after losing my grand-son and his dad, then my great-grand-son's daddy and then my son All by suicide. I couldn't go anywhere I would cry - church , store, for a drive: I was a mess as this all happened within 2 months. I still miss them and still cry for them at times.. They had issues they couldn't resolve and couldn't live with..... It happenned in 2020
