It's noon and I already had to resort to a not-so-good method of soothing myself, some chemically-induced anxiety reduction, and my first nap of the day, all of which prolly will be needed again. Why? Because I need to get my taxes done eventually, and that includes calling one tax agency to ask about yet another screw-up someone made (them, but they will blame me).

Having hard time staying awake, having hard time functioning. Time to go the shop and get some stimulant self-medication and superdose myself with caffeine to get through the actual doing of things part. Chest pains, and a crappy evening, here we come!

Tänään oli tuetun asumisen ohjaajan aika eli kalenteria ja ajanvarausta ja laskunen maksamista. Sit sisko kävi hakemassa dekkareita ja juttelemassa.

Koska kaksi viikkoa sitten ollut tukitoimien tauko niin nyt kotisiivouksen aika lykkääntyi ja haluain puhtaat lakanat nyt eikä huomenna. Illalla täytyy vielä saunoa.

Sit kokoajan taustalla on joko putputput tai kuorma-auto tai ties minkä työmaan äänet.

Mua ei kyl vaan oo luotu tähän tällaseen.

Having some time off I realise just how much sleep I really need. It turns out it's about 10-12 hours a day.

You can’t just go back to that version of yourself (the pre-burnout self, the one who had energy, and could do all of the things, and be a workaholic, or change the world, or whatever it was).

That version of yourself wasn’t living in a healthy way, it was ignoring your own needs.

I'm finding it hard to hear people today and I'm sure it's auditory processing difficulties.
