I am beginning to really appreciate this journal idea.
Now that my year long relationship with my boyfriend has ended, it's time to focus on my issues. My biggest problem right now is waking up - and actually getting out of bed. I'm staying in bed until 2-3 in the afternoon. I only do it on the days when I'm supposed to work my regular job. I feel useless and bored there. Without any structure or human interaction, I see nothing to look forward to. It's lonely and unrewarding, monotonous work. When I am there, I try to distract myself by surfing online, writing e-mails, etc. And all that slacking off just makes me feel bad about myself, for getting paid to mess around. Catch 22, like all things in my life.
Ironically, I took a part time job a few months ago, to make some much needed extra money - and because of an ultimatum the ex-boyfriend made. That employer has just offered me a full time position. It pays $6 an hour LESS than my regular job, but I've decided that since I can't bear to drag myself in to my regular job = I am therefore not making a decent paycheck anyway, I better take the offer. I'll actually make more there, because I know I'll show up!
It might sound ridiculous to people who don't understand, but it's one of those issues where I have to do what I know I can handle right now. And if I'm better off taking a pay cut, then it's time to do it.
So, I'm single and struggling to keep my head above water. I'm awaiting my therapy appointment this week to discuss my break-up, new job opportunity, and how to tell my boss that I'm leaving or changing my schedule dramatically.
