Army of ducks

Yes, something we should all fear.

Morning gang.

I've been having a very rough time this last week. It's not just Tim's death, though that is what left me vulnerable. My insomnia has been running rampid. I did get 10 hours of sleep last night, but that's because I only got about 3 hours worth in the 3 days prior. My anxiety is through the roof to the point I've had to ask for help with my kids, and rely on my anxiety medication which goes against everything I belive in. Having to admit you don't feel like you can properly care for your children is awfully demoralizing. When I do have to take those meds, which is very rare, I just don't want my kids around. I already feel crazy at that point, I don't exactly need the boys to agree with me

The meds mess with my appetite so my food intake hasn't been very good either. In an effort to stay distracted I've been building/working every moment I can. It works... You can't daydream while using a table saw, at least I don't. Though it's taking quite the toll on me physically

There's more than that, but this morning is the first I've felt relatively normal, and I'd to keep it that way. I'm still pretty depressed, but I got some sleep and that's the first step in getting back to being me. I miss being me, I kinda like my normal self. I've got 2 days to get this shit out of my system.

I wish I had something more cheerful to talk about. Maybe I can silver lining today.

Good morning Chris, glad you're feeling better and hopefully a lot better in a day or two.

Chris, you need more baby ducks! You and be sad while watching baby ducks.

I actually lock down 5 days before hatch for this reason... no screw up. Ducks just do their own thing

They’re already causing trouble and they aren’t even out of their shells yet. What have I gotten myself into?

It's good to hear from you, Chris! I'm sorry that this has been a difficult time for you. Although I'm sure I can't relate exactly to what you're going through, as someone that constantly deals with extreme bouts of anxiety, I don't wish that on you one bit. You're a really strong person for realizing that you are having a rough time and may benefit from anxiety meds. So many people don't even take the time to address what they're feeling or even attempt to deal with it. Healing (and sleep!) vibes heading your way!

Also... I agree on the "more baby ducks" thing. That's always a yes from me.
