  <title>012116: Waking Up</title>
  <link>https://memorialrainbow.dreamwidth.org/89863.html</link>
  <description>Writing again because I inherited the laptop at work and I have a chance to think. I&apos;d be writing in the records, but at least this way I can work and make phone calls at the same time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It occurred to me last night again that I take everything too seriously. Even something I guess as fun as karaoke has to be a performance, and I should be ashamed if I don&apos;t do my best in it. After waking up like a mess this morning, I gave myself a hard time about it until I realized what I didn&apos;t know until last night: that letting yourself off the hook is the key to being human. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;m not fully here. I feel like I&apos;m in the longest (though thankfully not most severe) panic attack ever. I&apos;m a little ghosty. I&apos;m disocciating but I&apos;m going in and out. I called in and said I was sick, which is true but more from a mental health standpoint than a physical health standpoint. I feel like all of my strength has been sapped. But thankfully my spirit is okay. I refuse to be the victim in this situation. I&apos;m not going to beat myself up, but I&apos;m not going to go super soft on myself as well. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They&apos;re helping me out today. I feel like I&apos;m getting more done. Then I&apos;m gonna stop by MJ&apos;s and then go home and work on the jeans I&apos;m currently wearing. And I&apos;ll be okay. I&apos;ll always be okay.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=memorialrainbow&amp;ditemid=89863&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>
