i've been on an emotional roller coaster much of this past week. i've experienced some violent mood swings and while i haven't spoken to Master about it, He knows something is going on but doesn't know what.
Last night, Saturday night, i was in a low, a deep deep low, and Master knew something was going on but i refused to talk about it. He was watching one of His science fiction shows and i was on the floor playing poker online. Usually when He watches something that i'm not particularly fond of, i do my thing, He does His, and it works. i will fetch His dessert during commercials or refill His tea so i'm still taking care of His needs, i'm just not actively watching the television.
Last night He interrupted the down time during the TV show, which is something He doesn't usually do. i communicated that i was in a tournament and He knows that those can consume about an hour of my time, or the length of this particular TV show. He didn't seem to care what i was involved in, He wanted a need to be met. He was completely in the right. i recognize that. I abruptly ended my game when i was in first place, to focus on Him and because i didn't put my phone down right away, even though i communicated what i was doing, He no longer wanted my attention, and that put me in a real funk.
i ended my game to serve Him, placing His needs before my own, and not only did i forfeit my game but i also did not receive the attention i thought i was getting.
i shutdowned myself for the rest of the night. i was angry and incredibly annoyed with these events BUT i knew it'd be wrong and completely inappropriate for me take these feelings out on Master .
Three months ago today, Sunday, was my breakdown. i'd like to think that i've moved on for the most part from the events that occurred on November 2nd, 2013. i don't dwell on those events anymore and I've stopped posting on FB about my feelings all the time. i have yet to make it one month panic attack free and that's a pretty big milestone for people with depression and anxiety disorders.
There is a guy i was dating in the fall prior to the breakdown who had a similar breakdown but doesn't have the depression that i get. His breakdown was well over a year ago and despite seeing a therapist once a week along with the multiple prescriptions, He still has yet to overcome the one month mark.
For me, November was a washout as it takes a few weeks for the meds to get in your blood stream. i moved Novrmber 30 arriving Dec 1 and had a major attack on December 4th. Christmas was a battle within myself but Master kept me occupied so i didn't dwell too much on it. His surgery was on Jan 4 and i had an attack that day. And here we are almost a month later and i can feel the pressure and the stress building.
Three months later, i'm much more in tune with my mental health than i ever was before. i am able to recognize the warning signs of an attack and the feelings that are associated with that. But i also feel like i don't yet have the ability to rid myself of the anger or stress to completely subdue the warning signs of an attack. As i lay here in bed typing this out at 4:16am, my heart is racing, I'm taking a lot of deep breathes and i feel this mounting "pressure" in my head. i have no logical reason to feel this way. i am essentially a stay at home wife for now or a houseboy, however you want to call it.
On Master's workdays, i get up twenty minutes after Him, prepare His coffee and cereal, see Him off to work, and climb back into bed for another two to four hours of sleep. i don't set an alarm and sleep until i'm not tired anymore, get up, eat, go to the gym, do my chores, do my job searching, get caught up on TV, prepare dinner, etc. None of this should be stressing me the fuck out.
Master is constantly telling me to "get out of your head" which means to stop thinking so much. It's hard not to think about things when you spend so much time alone.
i received my first job offer on Saturday so Saturday night i should've been riding a high but i wasn't. i'm stuck in this rut and i'm hoping Sunday with Master pulls me out of it .
