Some may remember me, but I've been away a long time, and soooo much has changed, so I'm going to do a new introduction.
When I first joined, my house was in a constant state of churning, I learned over time to get my house a little bit better every day or week.
For awhile, I felt like I was doing well, my depression was under control, and I was happy.
I am Polyamourus, so is my husband. He has a girlfriend, and I have a boyfriend. Starting this week D (my husband) will be spending one week there, and one week at home. I have 3 children, 13,12, and 9, who I am primary caregiver. With Covid, I've had them home full time, since March 13. My last 'normal' day. We went to my boyfriend's house, as it was a PD day, to play board games, and get the kids together.
I don't deal well with change, I need lots of warning when things are going to change, and it's best if I can be eased into it, this does not seem to work for most people in my life.
As of today, my house is in a constant state of messy. I have not slid past the point where I started out on this board, years ago.
I need to build up a routine, to help get me back on track.
I need to be able to show myself that I can do this. I'm now a solo parent one week on, one week off.
My depression is bad, but as always I will fight through, there is no option for me to quit, lay down, or take a break, because if I stop, inertia will get me, and I'm not sure I will be able to get going again.
Motivation follows action.

Hi boyswillbeboys! I remember you from a while back. I also just came back since this whole quarantine thing has thrown my routine out the window. There are lots of familiar faces. Not backsliding all the way is still an accomplishment. Routines always seem to come easier the second (or third or forth) time around so hopefully you can jump back in. |
