I had a few months that were absolutely amazing

New job that I love, getting to actually use my brain, my fitness was on the right path, health on point, love and friends and family surrounding me. Just green lights wherever I could look

When everything is too good, I learned that bad is just around the corner, lurking in the shadows, waiting to kick you right in the face

Anxiety kicked in on Monday when my kitchen sink got blocked. Fully. Tried the old chemicals and hot water, plunger and the snake and nothing worked. I had two days of work and couldn’t miss it so I had to find someone to come on the Thursday …. plumbers are fully booked πŸ™„ I found someone to come on Friday morning

My daughter’s friend was over at ours for the weekend and the giggles were in full swing. I felt like I got this πŸ’ͺ … THINK AGAIN

The guy came with a small tool box and he said that yeah …. my sink is blocked but he’s a plumber and I need a drainage person πŸ™„ FFS!!! Go back to calling and arrange for someone to come in the afternoon. In the middle of all this, my leg started to get red, itchy, hot to the touch and swelling as i had an insect bite a few days before

Called my GP who obviously has no appointments available so I asked for a call back (they did call about 6 hours later when my foot was about the size of a tree trunk and I already went to A&E)

The drainage people sorted out my issue but they did mention the problem is it from me but from further up. Looks like my upstairs neighbors are pouring crap down the drain blocking my sink (two days later the water started going down slowly again)

Also, two days later, my foot is still purple and it gets swollen if I walk so I guess another trip to A&E wouldn’t hurt πŸ€¦πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ

School started, I need to go to work and it feels like I can’t snap out of it. I can’t see the green light ahead of me. I have a few difficult days at work with lots of handovers coming my way and I can’t concentrate on anything

Last night I couldn’t sleep. Had a banging headache induced by insane thoughts. I need to be well, I need to go for a run and shake it off, I need to find my happy place again but not sure how to

Any miracles? Any ideas on how to snap out of it?
