Daily Post for Aug 30, 2023

On Wednesdays we go to the office. At least that's what I'm doing starting today. Ever since the pandemic I've been 100% work from home. While that appeals to my introverted leanings, it's proven over time to not be a healthy way to exist. I like the people I work with and I enjoy seeing them, but it's mentally and physically exhausting. I already have to medicate extensively to be a functional human being, what with the bi-polar, ADHD, and raging social anxiety. Being around people exasperates that 10 times over. I know a lot of people can relate to having bad brain chemistry. It sucks, but we survive.

Everyone in the house but me has colds. Part of me wants to check into a hotel so I don't have to be around a group of "patient zeroes". The other part of me thinks I'm probably playing it up a bit. 

I've not been watching my diet very much (translated - at all) lately. I haven't stepped on a scale in a couple of months, either. I was doing pretty well at 20 lbs. lost, but I feel like I've been stress-eating. I should probably do something about the situation, but I'm not going to lie and say I'm feeling motivated to. I feel like I'm mentally in a rut...not happy with myself, but not yet prepared to move forward. Mental health is weird.

Time to get ready to make the drive to work. At this point I'm stalling. Happy Wednesday!
