Stranger
I’ve become a stranger to myself and others.
The life I used to live went on without me without missing a beat and I’ve struggled ever since.
Every day I look for positives and have so much trouble finding them. Work is all I have and it’s just draining. The different and same faces every day do nothing to chear me.
Most days I exist in a fog. I feel it. I just want it all over.
I lost all my plans and dreams and now I can’t make new ones. Nothing seems right. I worry and dwell on my kids, who all seem to have moved on with the “new” normal.
I can’t get a head financially. It’s been check by check for over 6 years.
None of my friends have come back into my life. No new one has entered, except through here, but it’s not quite the same.
So close to just giving up.
I was just wondering how you were doing in the wee hours this morning as I lay awake unable to sleep. Thank you for checking in. Would you ever consider taking your skills to a different line of work where you would feel more valuable?
@elkay I’d love to have my old job back, but nepotism reared it’s ugly head there. I’m good at what I do, just burnt out.
