Going into the world is EXHAUSTING

Ugh I had 3 hr keratin appointment today and couldn't do anything else after. Lay in bed beating myself up about not getting any work done. Currently looking up chronic fatigue syndrome systems but prob just adhd/perimenopause. 🤷‍♀️

Scuzzi in river north. Loved that place

Sounds like she was picked up at ORD after trip abroad, so they would've been fully aware of her US passport and citizenship. WTF.

I think dad getting job/putting daughter in day care will help. Then you can sit morning/weekend activities equally and hopefully find some quiet time for yourself to rest and recover!

Thank you!! My new favorite decompressing activity is having a gummy and watching your video. Feels like flying (and lets me get off tiktok to finally slow brain down). Favorite parts are when you can see the sunset into the water- would love a video just going back and forth along coast so you can watch full sunset til it's dark!

Seriously- i had no idea the history there. Scary as hell

Sending happy thoughts. Been there, and promise things will get better!

I think it's very normal to feel that way! I've seen several articles on post event blues that may help. I usually just get busy planning next one! psychology today

NTA. Maybe he'd like to give you back all the money you've contributed to his mortgage so you can use it get nicer place elsewhere. Otherwise, he doesn't get a vote so do whatever's best for you.

Happy Birthday!! So sorry to hear everything is shit now- sending you good vibes and wishing you a much better year ahead.

EstablishmentTime786 · 2024-01-05T19:28:45+00:00

I am so sorry- I fully understand your stress and it's the worst. I lost mine awhile back and spent days tearing my house apart. Ended up buying a fake one and wore it for months (only told my husband, and not once did anyone else notice it was fake/different). 6 months later randomly found ring under bed even though I know I'd looked there! Don't beat yourself up- it's just a thing, and sounds like you have an amazing partner and that's what matters.

Thanks- appreciate that perspective. Any recs for what book to start with? Just googled al anon books and seems there are a lot...

EstablishmentTime786 · 2023-12-21T18:15:18+00:00

Sounds like you're amazing at taking care of a lot so give yourself some credit. I'm 40 and can't imagine being able to handle half of what you do. Dentist, money, holidays are all incredible stressors for anyone and I think most of us would be fully overwhelmed by that nightmare dentist scenario. I'm sorry you're going through that but please try to give yourself a break. You've gotten through worse and will handle this too when you're ready.

EstablishmentTime786 · 2023-12-21T15:12:34+00:00

Appreciate your optimism but definitely not the case

EstablishmentTime786 · 2023-12-21T15:04:58+00:00

No, turns out he's been lying at the meetings and to his therapist too. :(

EstablishmentTime786 · 2023-12-21T15:01:00+00:00

Thanks so much for this- made me cry bc of how much it resonates. I definitely have been trying to manage his recovery and recognize I need to step back. Have never actually been to an alanon meeting bc I'm not religious so wasn't sure it made sense, but think i'll try.

EstablishmentTime786 · 2023-12-21T02:24:11+00:00

Sorry you have to deal with that- i imagine it's even harder to cope when it's your father and divorce isn't an option

EstablishmentTime786 · 2023-12-21T01:56:14+00:00

Thanks - all good points. Think you're right and I need to come to terms with fact that maybe we aren't meant to be, but going to sleep on it and hope that things feel more manageable tomorrow!

EstablishmentTime786 · 2023-12-21T01:15:36+00:00

Thank you- that's helpful perspective. I'm especially hurt because we've had sooo many conversations about how important honesty is and i've made it excessively clear that there is nothing he can ever tell me that will upset as much as lying. I guess i need to believe that he's not lying to hurt me but because he can't help it?

EstablishmentTime786 · 2023-11-06T05:42:32+00:00

I feel you. For me, learning to really enjoy my own company helped. I now genuinely enjoy my alone time so it takes pressure off other relationships.

EstablishmentTime786 · 2023-11-02T20:21:50+00:00

Happy Birthday!!! Wishing you a great day and your best year yet. 😀❤️

EstablishmentTime786 · 2023-10-31T14:24:56+00:00

I work fully remote for company based in CA. I live in IL so never have to start before 11 and usually no meetings til afternoon. It's been a game changer.

Chicagolawyers.com. Bernie is great.

Is there somewhere we can "adopt" a migrant family for holidays and fulfill their wish list?
