I Became A Workaholic

I haven't posted on here lately as I have been going through some pretty serious emotional hurdles. Every time I start to open up and trust someone they turn on me and bite me in the face so to speak. I've been accused of so many thing that I gave up even trying. I turned into a hermit and a workaholic. Work is my release. It's the one thing that doesn't let me down. It gets things around the house accomplished. It's my personal trainer. I feel my muscles growing. Some days I'm in so much pain i can't move. Then i start to feel better. And stronger. The pain feels good, in a way. Kind of what you would feel after an intense workout. I'm learning more skills. Practical skills. Skills that are beneficial to my family, and in the future, should i find emotional healing, a blessing to others. I've written here about making my own laundry soap. But now i want to move on to make bar soaps using lye. I'm still downsizing. Still giving things to charity shops. Passover begins in a week, so it's an intense deep cleaning I must do, to get the chametz out. Chametz represents sin, all the bad things in life. As I do this, I'm looking deep within myself at my own flaws. What are my flaws? How can I be a better person? Anyway, thank you for reading this. I really needed to get this off my chest. I've been holding everything in for so long. Gave up posting on Facebook. Retreated within myself. But holding things in isn't good, is it. Anyway, I will sign off for now, and read other posts on here. Perhaps it will cheer me up.

Hope you feel better after being online here. I am on my own and I have found that expressing myself through writing and poetry has greatly helped me. I work online every day taking occasional breaks and I find that helps me keep up my mood to do what I really like.

Yes, keeping thing bottled up only makes things worse doesn't it. It's just that I'm to the point where I'm afraid to open up in real life because I usually face angry words. I know I should puck better friends, and I try, but I guess I'm unlucky. Do you publish your work at all?

@Masihi I write for many different sites online, I do content work that pays me, and I have two published books of poems through Amazon. And I keep on writing.

If I'm not doing physical labour I'm doing online earning, or having a sewing project in my hands. Anything in quietness is lovely. Years ago I spent a lot of time in bed, sleeping my life away, but now, there's so much I want to learn and experience. So i work. Any type of work, both easy and hard.

This site is good for letting your feelings out, and that can help a lot. Good luck to you.

Yes I agree. Like hubby said, it keeps my mind off of my troubles. It does help a wee bit, I guess. Anxiety attacks are lessening. I mean, women have been working hard for thousands of years, so I think it would be still beneficial for today.

Don't force yourself to work too hard. Take several breaks in order to maintain your health

Maybe when I can finally see a therapist (I'm on a waiting list to see one) and I'm finally able to work out my emotional issues.
