I’ve been struggling with my mood for the last few days. I’ve been feeling reflective, most days. I’m  also witnessing people I know and care about struggle with mundane life issues, and it seems to be taking a major toll on them.  Me, I’m struggling to sleep. It is having a profound effect on my mental sharpness, as well as other things.

My ability to write is suffering and that troubles me. It’s my outlet and therapy! I need an outlet for my emotions. I’m burning out, slowly but certainly. I’ve been straining to leave work related emotions and stuff at work. Leaving it all behind has been a big helper.

I love the creative soul in me, but when she’s stifled… my whole world stops revolving. Being creative helps me to maintain healthy relationships and softens my mood.

I’ve been consuming a cocktail of allergy medication, which the doctor thinks is adding to my insomnia. He gave me sleeping pills, but I’ve withstood the urge to take them. Nevertheless, I took one last night, and sleep still managed to escape me.

I’ve vowed to retire to bed early tonight, we’ll see how that goes. In lieu of sleeping pills, I’m going to have a lovely glass of wine or two. That will put me to sleep for sure 🙂
