dont want to leave room

dont want to leave room

Hi,

I recently moved to a country town for work. Probably wasnt up to working. quit after a week.

I dont have a base re accomadation. I prepaid 2 wks at a reduced rate in a motel.

Even tho they swapped rooms on me to a way worse one, I am thinking that they are going to try and charge me more for leaving early.

I left my tools at work. I cant bring myself to go there to pick them up

I need major dental work. I can afford it but again just cannot decide

I dont know why I didnt leave here a week ago.

I use alcohol. A lot. I have told myself I will stay here until sober for a few days

then make a semi sane decision about what to do and where to go.

I just feel bad about leaving the room, being in the room, seeing other people at the moment

yes I realise its in my head. Have a history of anxiety and depression

Its all getting circular

just wish I would stop bothering myself about it so much 🙂

There's nothing quite like driving with no plans and no itinerary. If you've got a tent and associated gear you can stop wherever takes your fancy. You might even find a job along the way.

There's many a time I've hit the road on an unplanned trip to somewhere. I find it very relaxing and it helps to keep me grounded.

Re: dont want to leave room

This thread makes me smile. For all your self doubt @TAB your a survivor! A traveller. You adapt well. I guess I'm hearing a 'free spirit' in this. That's a good way to be. You would literally have developed a toolbox of coping mec's that I reckon u shove aside when you feel down. It's not till we start pulling them out again, that it's the rush that comes back. The open road sounds like where you need to be right now. Don't think too hard, or too much. Stability of work will turn up, its timing for you I reckon. And the motel people gee's incredibly rude. But you get that right! Ha,ha. Actually today I found myself pondering the lack of empathy some people have. They are only concerned with knowing the right people, the house, the right job etc etc.....errrrr not my kinda people at all. Good luck. Open starry skies are the best. 😊

Re: dont want to leave room

TAB was the name of my first cat. Got him when I was 5 I think. He turned evil in the end ..ok went wild on the farm, had 20 plus of his offspring around at one stage, just was pissed off that he wouldnt come back, used to see him in the distance. I always felt different. Even from that age. Wanted to be loved. Havent really learnt over the decades ..oh oops .. yes, check list, be an adult.. :-)..

Re: dont want to leave room

Poor cat! We had an old Tom, he used to go off every day to the big bush area over the road. Always would come home with battle scars..he was a tough nut. Swiped me when I was a toddler just missing me eye! I still liked him all the same. I was probably a pest anyway! Funny how some memories stay & yet some of say a few years back are completely gone. I forget a lot of things these days, especially day to day stuff.
Yes, I think loneliness comes from childhood. I'm not really sure entirely why. I mean to ask my psychologist but sometimes delving into stuff only stirs me up. So I talk about what comes up on the day!
