These lyrics just go round in my head sometimes. I think why am I struggling? I don't have half the problems that other people have. Why do I seek something else to take the edge off? Why is alcohol my go to solution? I am here this morning after waking up pretty seedy after a sleepless night of rapid heart beats and dehydration. My first thought is "have another drink.. it will make you feel better" And I did and it does. But I know it too will wear off and then what? Can I just keep going like this? Is this my life? I tell myself this is the last time but I'm not sure I really believe it.

Hello Mary. That's a tough one isn't it? The desire to stop the thoughts going round and round and block out. I did the same thing last Tuesday and then I scoffed whole lot of shortbreads with Nutella because I ate all the chocolate I had the day before. I had my own little party.
i haven't commented on this site before but I really enjoyed reading past posts and felt right at home. Meaning that I can relate with most things people struggle with day to day. I will do my profile when I can.
for now, my thoughts are with you and try not to beat up on yourself. I am sure you are doing the best that you can at this particular moment otherwise you would be doing something else. This is what I tell myself. And it's ok. Looking forward to getting to know all of you, the understanding community. Kind regards vera
