Rough day yesterday.....but with the help of my friends I made it. I was thinking--one of the reasons I had a bad time is that I'm completely overwhelmed at work.....paperwork like crazy, I'm finishing my internship, I'm taking classes, and I'm trying to be perfect. The old Bellinator would drink to take the edge off......and then doing those tasks are really kind of fun! Some coping skills are in order for sure!

Bell, I use to think the evening drinks after a tough paper filled day would take edge off, but found out the drinks just made it worse and perpetuated the problems actually making the stress and anxiety worse in the long run.

You may not think this could be true now, but if you give it time, you will find it to be true.
I am so much more relaxed alcohol free and the paperwork gets done as I can do it. Yes, there is still a lot of it, but one can only do as much as they can.

Keep on working at it, you are off to a good start.
