That is all I want, just One small step forward. Every time i seem so close to being able to take my first step that actually means anything on this journey, the powers that be decide to drop their pants and take a dump on my life. I have been working hard at trying to get into therapy since January of last year, and every time I think I am close, something happens to push me back time and time again. Most of last year it was that i didn't get the right insurance plan, so I had to wait until open enrollment for this year just to switch. Now that I have the right insurance, and I am moved out of my mothers house again (third time is hopefully the charm) there always seems to be something coming along to mess up my finances to keep me from that big comfy therapist couch. Last month it was the head gasket on my car blowing. This month my phone died... while on the line trying to set up the appointment. Did I do something to anger the powers that be? My mother seems to think (and makes no hesitation to tell me) that God is trying to send me a message that this is not His will. I feel like i am in a cage, and i can feel the bars get closer and closer every day. I hate this feeling, this helpless feeling. I feel like i am literally loosing my mind. The logical part of my mind knows that these setbacks are temporary, that I just need to whether the storm and Eventually I will get things paid of so I can start therapy, but the anxiety and depression team up and turn into a raging beast of destruction that takes an ever growing amount of energy to hold back. It pops up more and more often, over some of the stupidest things. Things like dieing in a silly video game which has no bearing on real life will set me off, or even something as simple as mistyping my password. When my phone died, i flipped my lid. I slammed the door to the apartment so hard I literally busted the door. There went another $150. I can't have the money to help me control my temper because I keep loosing my temper. I am about to the point of banging my head against the wall, and would have already if it wasn't for the fact I would have to pay to repair that too.
I am sorry for this random rant being all over the place, but i just needed to vent this somehow. Thanks for listening to me and my overly sensitive Bitch Switch.
