Sinking
I am sinking. As of late, sinking faster than ever. I am a mixture of worried and scared.... Sinking.... Worse than I can ever remember.... Mostly because it lasts and lasts.... I fear and that is what the sinking feeds upon.
As I sift through this quicksand, I think or suspect the following things are gnawing at me.
- Son #1 - I don't see any foreseeable adjustments. It will only spiral down.
- Returning to a new work place. Even if it is temporary for a year, I am stressing over it. I simply do not want to go there.
- Physical Health. Besides the overweight, I am battling new cases of bad skin above my right knee, bleeding skin tags, a sinus issue, and of course, arthritis. I also suspect a growing heart issue. The blood pressure was up the other day at the athletic physicals, so... I suppose that looms large as well.
- Sheer lack of motivation. Simply put... I don't want really to do anything. Anything at anytime. I do not want to go anywhere. I don't see how it is going to get better in any way.
- Looming retirement. I hate the thought of it. I stress that it will end my belief that I have any resemblance of control over my own personal situation. I have myself convinced that financial ruin is just slightly behind retirement.
- Moving..... I despise the thought of emptying this house and selling it. Despise it.
- General discontent with myself.
There. That is a decent start on my hole.... dig a hole.... keep on digging.... and better yet... .put a drain in the bottom..... What am I going to do? I am in trouble.... sinking downward, ever downward.
