I feel like I'm spiraling. I can't smile and if I do, it is forced. Nothing brings happiness to my day. Not even my grandson. I am just working and going home to shower then bed. I've lost all desire to do anything that I used to enjoy. I know what my tipping point was. I had a contractor come in and they have been repairing my home. A couple of months later, a leak was found on Christmas day. It was at that point I lost all hope. It was on that day when I had a friend tell me "Just take it one day at a time and get a contractor out there!" How in the fuck do I take things one day at a time when things go to shit for me ONE FUCKING DAY AT A TIME!!!???? Just when I think I am going to have some happiness in my life, I am thrown back into a hole.
I can physically feel the depression taking over. I had some happiness for a couple of months when my house was finally getting repaired. It was a strange but welcome feeling. I truly believed I was on my way to healing and happiness. I don't understand why I cannot be allowed a happy life. Why can't I have a life where demons don't haunt me every single day? Why can't I have a life where I wake up happy to be waking up? Why can't I have a life where the word "love" is nothing more than a lie? Why?
There are days I enjoy living my life. There are days I thoroughly hate it. Yesterday, while grocery shopping, I almost had a breakdown. Standing there in the aisle, I had to fight, with everything in me, to not start crying. Too much has been hitting me this month and I think I'm at the end of my rope. Beginning of the month, D's new wife sent me a text telling me to lose his number, email and address because I already had my chance with him. I laughed at the absurdity of everything she said in that text as it sounded like something a teenaged girl would write. I haven't wanted that man in almost 20 years, so, she is either highly jealous of his past and any woman he used to be interested in or is extremely insecure with herself and her relationship. Regardless of her mental state, I told her I was just catching up on life with him, but I will respect her request and not talk to him again. I've been told she has been married 4...
