Irritated, upset, etc.

I've been feeling really bummed out lately. Sunday was horrible, I felt like shit all day, and for some reason the entire day seemed to pass by like I was not really a part of it. Like an out of body experience. It left me feeling very disillusioned and distanced from everyone and everything, I don't really know how to explain it. And my rib, oh god, it hurts so bad right now, if I try to lift anything heavy I get a sharp pain up and down my right side, and this has been causing me a great deal of anxiety. I think I will have to go the doctor again and get an x-ray, because something is not right. Then, my finger, which has swollen up badly and makes it nearly impossible to grip anything... has completely put me out of commission. I can't run because of my rib, and I can't lift because of my finger and my rib. The only thing I can do is stick to my eating and hope that somehow, I will still be able to see some progress. All of these things have left me feeling pretty hopeless and it is extremely upsetting. I wish I was more social, better at expressing my emotions, or generally just more connected to people. I spend a majority of my time alone and I think with all these recent developments, it is really starting to mess with my mentality. I am not a religious person, nor do I place much faith in anything or anyone besides myself, but I honestly can not explain why these things that are happening to me, it almost seem premeditated. Like someone or something is actually trying to make me fail or give up, all I can think about right now is how much the world and my place in it sucks. I'm hurt physically to the point I can't do what I want to do for myself right now, and there is really nobody I want to talk about it with, because I hate being a burden. I need something, some kind of relief, I just don't know what.

Mannnnn, I could write forever in response to this.

When it rains, it pours. Im sorry you are having such a hard time. Its easy to get sucked into a depression and feel like youll never get back to the routine you are used to, but I think your body is just begging for some time out.

This isnt all I want to say, but I dont want to take up all your comment space lol. I think you have done tremendously.

I have had you on my mind for the better part of a day or so. I was worried that something was keeping you down. You know, life throws a lot of stuff at us (you have read about my foot), we just can't let it keep us down. Sure, it puts a temporary slow down on our program. When that happens, we just gotta do what we can. As soon as you are well, get back at it. You can do this - you are just hitting a bump in the road. While it seems like a big problem now, looking back you will see it was just a bump. Keep at it, you can do it!

Hey you have all these people out in blog land to keep you company! We all go through times like this. Keep your head up and think of it as a minor set back. Things happen for a reason, even bad things. I would def. go back to the doctor and get checked out. Make sure you don't have a broken rib or something.
