I'm having a really emotional day and hopefully it's something I will be able to sleep off.
My phone broke yesterday and I took it into the shop to see if it was a quick fix. The guy working there was not being very helpful to me and he didn't seem to know what he was talking about (reinforced today when I showed the phone to a friend who used to work in that business and he knew in fifteen seconds exactly what the problem and solutions were). So I asked him if he could call customer service from the store phone, or call whomever his immediate boss was. He got an attitude with me, I dished it back to him and it was just a very embarrassing time for me. I am usually polite if not also timid, but I absolutely needed my phone running for work and I took my anger out on this guy.
I then couldn't sleep after that because I felt bad. So I went back to work on maybe 45 minutes of sleep and worked another 10 hours of hard effort driven by three separate rounds of pre-workout. Got out of work today and just felt extremely emotional, ashamed, sad, embarrassed, and so on. Not really about the phone any longer, just about my life in general.
Then I had to do some stuff to take care of my mother (Alzheimer's) and she kept telling me how wonderful of a son I am. Yet whenever she does this I just start to reply all of the ways I hurt her and the family while addicted to heroin and I just end up on the break of tears. Wanting to answer "no, I'm a piece of garbage son, but I'm trying now." Which led to just proper thinking about hurting people and being a bad person during addiction. This is actually why I got so close to my ex's two year old... It was the only human interaction where I genuinely felt like a good person...and that's such a good feeling to actually see yourself in a better light...
But then back home trying to eat, exhausted, listening to emo music and tearing up. I often talk about SAD or depression or whatever, but that's more like frustration and listlessness. This tearjerking deep sadness, guilt and shame only hits me once in a while, but those stars aligned today...
Going to inject test 12 hours early just to get some placebo, and perhaps feel better at work tonight. Tonight is the last night of holiday prepping, so it will be back to heavy lifting, food and sleep in a day.
I have a date planned this week with an older lady friend of mine. She has had a crush on me for years, but she wants a serious boyfriend and that's not what I want to do right now in life. I'm honest with her about it. But her son is in jail right now and she's not holding up too well, so I am going to help her get out of the home and laugh a bit.
