I don't want to go back to work @Dreamy but I know that I have to because it brings money in.
I don't know...
My brain is still sending me into panic/survival mode and last night was bad. Some kids riding scooters in the street triggered me having to sleep with the TV on again and lots of anxiety and panic.
I'm just...I'm worried about all the work stress on top and whether I'm going to be able to manage.
And now I have tears.

@NightFury oh sweet, i hear you. Can we slow things down and take some deep breaths together ❤️.
That would have been hard last night and it's ok that you needed the TV on again, things are still very fresh.
Have you been able to talk to anyone at work about what happened during the holidays?
Let's just focus on this moment, where are you sitting right now? Have you got the TV on, where's Luna?

@Dreamy one of the ladies I work with lives not far from here, so I called her to come and sit with me while I waited for the Police to get here. She came, she also took my car back to her house and parked it under the cameras so they couldn't come back and steal it.
I'm standing in the kitchen, leaning on the bench waiting until my food is cooked. I probably won't eat it because I don't feel great. Luna is...asleep in the hallway, just outside of the kitchen door. Not far away.

@NightFury ok, I'm glad that someone from work knows and that she was able to come and sit with you and help out with the car.
I know it's hard to eat when things feel overwhelming but even just trying to manage a small amount would be good. I'm glad Luna isn't far away. What have you got cooking?

I cooked pork steaks and vegetables because I haven't eaten veggies for a while, and I think my body needs some @Dreamy
I'm going to save it for tomorrow. I might have one of the spare pork steaks some cherry tomatoes and some avocado...we'll see.
What did you have for dinner?

I'm sorry @Dreamy that my emotions are so emotional right now. I know I'm not much fun to be around. Kinda why I've been laying low this weekend.

My sweet @NightFury, I'm here for you through the emotions whether they be happy or sad. I'm not going anywhere, we've sat together through all kinds of moments and emotions, that's what friends do ❤️.
