I finally made the call to the program which allows employees to attend 3 free counseling sessions to talk about stuff. Drinking, death, anxiety for family, dealing. Ugh. I've never done counseling as an adult. I did once, but I just cried the whole time and tried to not make myself look like a total bitch. Which probably wasn't really constructive.
I've been drinking a lot because I don't like to think. When I think I get too anxious about my family, my age, taking care of things. Fucking christ Sarah, you really messed me up. Brought up a whole lot of anxiety things that I've been supressing my whole life. I can't take care of everyone and that scares the hell out of me because if I don't try they might die like you did. But trying is hard and acknowledging my failure as a friend/loved one is too daunting so...wine helps. I don't know man. I really need to talk to someone.
