Pity Party over. Yes, I'm probably on the edge of depression, that realization hit me like a ton of bricks after I published this morning's post. Thank you all for the uplifting comments, it means a lot to me that you read and think and care enough about me to make them. I left a message with my therapist for another appointment as soon as possible. This whole "facing reality" thing sucks sometimes.
A friend of mine once joked, "Over achieve much?" I like being busy, I like being good at the things I do. Both of which are pretty normal except maybe I do take it to extremes at times. I see myself as a juggler, keeping all these balls up in the air. Lately it seems I've been dropping and losing my favorite ones (scrapbooking, writing, crafty things, etc) while picking up anvils (depression, stress). Which makes the regular balls (being a mom, housework) that much harder to juggle. I'm awesome at this analogy thing if I do say so myself. *winks*
I do need to slow down, I do need to take time and work through all this instead of expecting results overnight. It's taken years to get here and it'll probably take awhile to fix it. I'll admit I'm not a terribly patient person and what little I do have, I spend it all on the kids. So I'm going to work on doing the basics well again. And also remember to breath and take my allergy medicine.
Thanks again and if you want to email me, it's katiefleck AT hotmail.com
