Protecting yourself socially and protecting your environment
So here i go. Ive been becoming unwell and unstable over the last week or so and im now trying to work out why it has happened snd what is causing it. And a few elements come into play. An alcoholic associate got back from his trip to the city and started revisiting me and pressuring the drink upon me. Another associate came back around and his problems became my problems and started rubbing off on me. Its the month of Ramadan and i got a storm system and cold spike coming that is two days away. And im nearing the end of my depot cycle.
I cracked it at these guys through a text and told them what i was thinking. And to really solve and fix thr problems these guys are causing me. I think id have to say. No more. Thats it. Go away. And dont come back. Leave me in peace snd let me live my life how i want too.
From day one and every time they come around. Im thinking here we go. Heres trouble. What problems am i gonna have to be dealing with today? And on the inside im thinking get lost! I got enough on me own plate without dealing with their issues as well. But being the quiet and reversed person i am. Its hard to put people in their place after ive prioritized me as number one. And dealing with the problem i can see unfolding.
Each morning its the same situation. Each morning im in the same circumstances. And its a hard job to get it right. And get through each day. Looking after myself and taking care of myself. And dealing with my own dilemmas and problems is hard enough.
And from day one i could see all this stuff unfolding. And i could subconsciously see what was happening. And didnt really know what to do about it. and ive pushed them away and ive had breathing space and regrouped myself and started functioning better again. But then along comes a phone call or a knock at the door and the cycle unfolds again. And the process repeats. And im left feeling really annoyed and agitated and unwell and unstable.
Now consider. Ive done it too myself and got no one else to blame. And im the only person who can really help me so i sent them both half friendly texts stating my qualm and hoping to deal with the inherent people problems im faced with and move on. Toward better self care everyday. And taking good care of myself. My animals. My family. Whom i want to call friends. And start living in a socially protected situation and environment. Stabilize. Get well. Start thinking clearly. And battling my battle as an individual.
I got nothing against anyone really. But when i can sense and know.that a situation is bringing me down. I get really annoyed. And do my best to deal with the problem.
What say all ye?
