November then December


What do I do with this feeling?
Everyone is so excited for the holidays. The snowflakes, the pumpkin shakes. The hustle and bustle, buying presents, making snowmen in the front yard. I can't be excited. I've never been in a relationship during the holidays. They're usually ruined during, or around the holidays.
I tend to try to escape the holidays. I drink a little more, I sleep in later. I don't want to think about presents wrapped up in paper with pictures of santa on them. I don't want to think about making cookies and decorating a Christmas tree. I don't want to hear Christmas songs playing in the grocery store. The big wet flakes, falling on my face. The smiles, the red bows, the hats and gloves. I'm not a grinch, I'm not a scrouge. I just don't want to think about the heart break that Christmas brings,
every year.

Winter


It's getting colder and colder.
Winter is right on my heels.
I walk outside and get instant goosebumps,
the air smells like December.

I had a wonderful anxiety attack today.
When I say that it was wonderful I mean that sarcastically.
It was awful.
I zipped up my puffy coat all the way up, and burrowed into it.
'I can't go to work. I just can't.'

My heart was racing and I was sweating inside my nest of a coat.
Just thinking about work made me nauseated.
Too many bad experiences there to count.
We're all being laid off anyways, what's my boss gonna do, fire me?
Go right ahead.
FAAAAAAAAAAAACK.
