Spilling the Tea
I am here because I underwent a spinal surgery in May. I’ve been out of work since Feb, with moments of attempting to go back recently, that led me to quit. Though I do have another job in the making.
The days when I’m home I’m filled with anxiety and tears. The days I go do things I’m exhausted.
I feel like I’m failing in every aspect and wonder where did my life go?
Where did my free spirit go?
I don’t know if I’m victimizing myself and just falling into a crevice.
I found photos last night of when I ran 5k obstacle course. I was covered in the thickest mud that stained my skin for a few days. Biggest glowing smile on my face. I accomplished it. It was one of the toughest years I thought I had had. There’s was grief, life, and disappointments. That was what I needed. I was a warrior.
I need that h hope that things are going to improve. The anxiety with decrease and the energy will increase. 😢

Hi peach,
It's understandable to feel this way. You've been going through a difficult time, and it's perfectly normal to feel frustrated and sad about it.
This is a time where life might feel like it has slowed down significantly, and that's okay. Be kind and gentle with yourself. Allow yourself to feel every emotion that comes with this experience.
I wish you all the best, and I send so much love your way.
Take care!
