Writing did help and it does continue to help. I enjoy writing. I think if anyone can find a healthy activity to have when they go through an "off day" they will be measures ahead.
I’m just picturing you going through your day, struggling with the feelings and trying to stick to your plan even though you really don’t feel like it. I get that feeling too. On Thursday, I broke my new resolution to only drink at the weekends which had been going pretty well since my dry January. I just had all this unresolved anger bubble up despite doing all the right things like being out in the garden sowing seeds, which I love, (and is a wellness thing for me), but I seemed to just be feeling a baffling amount of rage about I don’t know what exactly. I drank a glass of red wine on an empty stomach, sent a sycophantic message to a writer I admire, and got into a massive row with a psychiatrist on someone else’s blog. But you know what, I’m human and so are you. Maybe you needed the serotonin comfort of the pizza rather than the challenge of the hike. The psychiatrist and I resolved our dispute in a friendly manner and the writer was tickled by my wine soaked nonsense, so I’m over it. Sending love 🫂
Ha ha, I didn't know where you were going with your comment when you broke your drinking resolution, but it sounds like everything came out fine. I really think the key word for me is mitigation, I'm going to have "off days", I just need to reduce their damage.
I hope writing has helped. Most people have "off" days, and I hope yours is only that. Take care of yourself.
