Beyond a Jam, Full on Jelly

I am hitting yet another of my bottoms and am making an effort to move forward in my usual sideways manner.

Where do I begin on this one? Oh, yeah, Adivan… I don’t even know if that’s the correct name, I was prescribed a generic. Whenever I get these in my hot little hands I have a habit of taking a hand full at a time and then go through withdrawing from them for a few days.  I don’t remember everything I do when I take them. Smoker says I just babble and say crazy shit, then fall asleep for hours and hours sometimes even days. Obviously doing something like this and trying to have any kind of life or job is a bad combo. I haven’t been in my office for a week and a half.

I’m actually okay with the idea of losing my job. I sent an email yesterday giving them my extended written notice. By this I mean I am quitting, but I will give them some time to find my replacement and help out. I’ve been working from home. I did this because frankly a lot of my depression comes from my job. There is a lot of rejection in my work and it effects me. Not to mention I can’t seem to keep myself clean, healthy and employed all at once. The guys at my work said they would hire me back if I want to come back, which is great. But right now I need to be somewhere else. And with my next round of the crazies kicking in, it’s time to go.

I am agoraphobic, diabetic and cancerous. Sometimes I wonder if I am also slightly schizophrenic. Every place I have ever lived with the Smoker, I have had this problem of hearing “voices”. Always the same thing, neighbors talking about how horrible we are. Threatening to throw us out and call the cops. Every time always someone down stairs who hates me. It gets so bad I have to sleep with ear plugs in. I never feel safe. I am always afraid. Which creates this weirdness within my agoraphobia. I want to be safe in my space, but I fear the neighbors so I want to go out all of the time only to become afraid again and panic to get home and hide. I literally hide all of the time now. Even missed all of my doctor’s appointments.

So I am working with a company where I use my own USB headset and work from home doing almost the same thing as what I do now, but out of my house. Stretching out my job into a home based job until I am replaced. Trying to get off the benzo train and into meds that don’t make me feel depressed or like a drug crazed sleepy head. I have so much work to do on rebuilding again.  Smoker is supportive by I can tell he’s a little wigged out by me now too. However, his lazy ass is encouraging me to keep both jobs and make double comission. Hmmm.

Changes

English: Tap dancer Jimmy Slyde in France Fran...

Things have been constant and demanding on me lately. I feel like I’m tap dancing to keep up. At the beginning of the month my boss was fired. I essentially trained my new boss and we have just settled into a routine together. I have been exhausted. I have been lonely. I have been fighting the darker parts of myself in trying not to give in to the stress.

The Smoker has become so routine in our life together. He’s this unbelievable drain. I hate him. But I can’t picture my life without him in it. I don’t know if I know how to live without him there. He’s been a part of my daily living for almost ten years!

I have been lazy about my physical health. I just don’t care. My diabetes has been a big issue, and I just keep ignoring it. In my head I rationalize it because having Cancer is enough. I can’t maintain both. I can’t maintain myself. And my boyfriend is just this strain on it all. He is addicted to big meals and sweets. It just feeds into my problems. I am an emotional eater and when I restrain myself and try and buy healthy food, he comes home with a bag of candy. I break.

I break too easily.

So I have just been trying to get through work. The car business is a hard one. I struggle sometimes. I get hung up on and yelled at every week. People give me fake info or send me on a wild goose chase instead of just saying you know what, I don’t want this car. I work on the internet. I provide info to people who ask for it from our national and local websites. I provide info, pricing and ultimate try and structure what you want with our dealership. Clients tell me what they need and I try and make it happen. Sometimes, I crack and just feel like total shit.

Thursday I plan on seeing a therapist. I feel so weird. Like I’m not a fully fledged adult.Like I’m too sensitive about everything. In too much pain to function in the world. I need something, a direction. When I was in the shower this morning I kept thinking, after everything I went through – I am back at square one. Before I got sick I felt empty, and was filling the void with sexual attention. Well I feel empty again, and sex is difficult for me these days. So I eat and self loath and smoke pot and self loath. Even making jewelry is making me feel awful. I feel like I don’t even rate. I started selling online, I have yet to sell to someone I don’t know. Nothing is fulfilling, just food, food FOOD.

How did I get so old and lame.
