Friends with Me
When the week started, I had such high hopes. I think I feel into a trap. The trap of thinking that quitting my job would solve some, if not all, of my problems. It did not. It did add some problems. And if I’m honest it did alleviate some too. I’m no longer surrounded by toxicity of others. No longer dealing with the stress of COVID and its daily impact on the health care field. However, I am still depressed. I am still going days without stepping into the shower. Still having to take Ativan to make it through certain situations. Still sitting on the couch, wishing it would just all stop for a minute. If I could get just a moment of peace from the constant stress and anxiety of just being me. Not going to work every day didn’t change the fact that I am me.

Improve your body language
When a person deals with drug, alcohol or any other substance addiction they might end up in bad personality and find difficult to communicate with other people verbally as well as through their body language. This can lead patients to be more dangerous and less possibility to have a desire to get recovery. But this barrier must be removed from an addict life in order to make them feel more accepting in the society and less embarrassed by their selves.

"Clean Up in Aisle 3."
Its 9:15pm and I'm standing in the middle of the baking ingredients aisle of my local supermarket as I feel a wave of depression hit me like a wall. Tears begin to well up as I take a deep sigh and try to focus on the adult contemporary holiday music instead of the watery escape of my own emotional stress. Stress that I've actively tried to ignore for the past 5 months and especially in the past 48 hours. A grown man, alone, and about to cry in the most public way.
