Wrote long post about anxiety for my blog.

Deleted it after writing it.

It's so hard to talk about all that's been going on in my brain. I'm trying to speak publicly about it in a professional and complete way, to help raise awareness for mental disorders. But it's way harder than it seems.

Finn is sensing how bad it is lately and has been acting out in return. Sucks.

I don't know how 'professional' it is but could you make it a Q A format?

I have trouble telling people about my anxiety issues and struggles I have with social situations from Aspergers. If I just write about it I get kind of rambly. But when I try and bullet point or answer direct questions about it I find I can stay on track during the explanation a little better.

Definitely something I've considered.

Part of the reason I started blogging again is to highlight this aspect of my life in a positive light. In the sense of "things can get better". Kind of like Boggle the Owl on a lesser scale.

These last two weeks have been.... Tough. Tough enough that I've blown up at most everyone who means anything to me. Those I haven't blown up at, I've just avoided talking to so I am sure I won't.

One poor friend has been getting the most of it, mainly because I talk to them the most. Last night I completely lost it, and it was... bad. I'm fairly certain we patched things up and we'll be ok, they know I didn't mean it, but still. It just makes me feel horrible. Usually I can have a little bit of tact with these things.

Worry. Stress. Panic.

I need a vacation.

Crossfit classes 3-4x a week. Pull ups, push ups, weights, kettle bell swings. . . The ER doc told me I need to skip going this week, and I told her I paid too much for it not to go. :rofl1:

And it was a can that got me. . . through a set of welding gloves. It's a deep, inch long cut on my palm. It hurts to grip anything.
Through a set of welding gloves?! Holy crap, I'm glad you were wearing the gloves!

Also, I applaud your commitment to crossfit. Do things one-handed :p

When you ignore three polite emails and finally responds to a snippy one, don't be surprised if I get snippy right off the bat next time. Just sayin'.

So, I see my therapist tomorrow,& to be honest, I haven't really told her much. I don't "click" with her, like I did with previous therapists. has been awhile too, 2 1/2 years since I've been with her. And, I don't yet feel comfortable with her... Not, at all.

More "I don't understand how keys work" this morning.

This morning somebody called asking about his warranty replacement and turns out we shipped it to the completely wrong address. She says she confirmed the address was fine, but I don't believe it because she's lied before. So we're out money on those replacement parts now because they will probably never come back.

sigh.

Why is it when at 9:00 in the morning when it says it is only 80* outside it feels like 95*? UGH. Most miserable walk ever. I let Abrams play with the hose when we got home, though, so that at least made it better for him.

A silly rant. I got these little temporary tattoos free from Hurtta. My child was having Cars temporary tattoos put on his feet (he's 3...I don't question) and wanted me to "match". So, he put the Hurtta one on my arm yesterday. Usually oil takes it off nicely, but this one is being super stubborn.

Get off my arm!

Boss asks for a million things in a call that was supposed to be 30 minutes. Call ends up being 2 hours long and I no longer have time to get all of my work done before he wants results. Ugh, super stressed by work and it's only Tuesday.

Also, I'm super tired for no good reason and it's been going on for weeks now. Probably need to get my thyroid checked ¬.¬

And then when I finally decide to go grocery shopping it POURS. Had to only buy urgent items so I didn't need a cart, which means I'll need to go shopping again on Thursday. Ugh. Was soaked to the bone by the time I ran to the car and their were flash flood puddles up to my ankles in the flat parking lot.

I am really despising the weather down here. It's supposed to be AUTUMN. With cool, dry weather and pretty leaves. Not 95* and constant switches from muggy sun to down pours over the span of an hour.

True Cooler weather wont be here until mid next month. This is the typical summertime weather pattern. Hot and Humid in the early A.M. then mid afternoon there are heavy downpours which if we are lucky it breaks the heat , if unlucky , they cool nothing and build up for a humid night. Dog Days of Summer for sure.

You will LOVE the 70's in January though.
