Chips Ahoy!

I'm craving chips. Let's talk about it.
What am I feeling?
Physically speaking I'm feeling pain in my back. The same pain I've had for a while and I start freaking out thinking that I've got lung cancer because I'm terrified that my intermittent smoking has ruined my lungs. 
What was the trigger?
Fear of having a self inflicted terminal illness was the trigger. Eating chips is distracting and comforting.
What do I need?
I need to distract myself from the pain and comfort myself from the fear that overwhelms me when I feel pain. The reality of things is that pain is a daily occurence in my life, but it still scares the shit out of me because my mind automatically starts catastrophising what the source of the pain might be.

Flight Mode

I have this urge to die. It's not a conscious desire, but deep down inside there's this push to just end it all. I feel overwhelmed by the magnitude of stuff I need to do in order to be a successful human by my own standards which are the only ones that matter. I feel completely out of control with my eating and I'm so damn tired all of the time. I just want to die. I don't want to be a parent anymore to a verbally abusive kid. I have 7 years of unfiled taxes. There's a lien on my house because Dan didn't deal with the strata. I can't seem to make enough money to pad up my bank account and my Etsy sales have dwindled. Fuck my life right now. I'm so depressed. I feel beyond unmotivated to do anything.

Money  Energy Longevity Mood Fitness  Sleep Money: More money to spend on going surfing, making home furnishings, saving for renos, pumping into business ventures, buying clothes, cosmetic procedures, a housekeeper etc. Energy: Let's be real, you get a sense of purpose from getting things accomplished and you need energy to do that. Ain't nobody got time for a hangover and also you're not 20 so you need all the help that you can get. Less booze = more energy. Longevity: This is building on that last one. The longer you live, the more stuff you get to experience. Overindulgence in booze means you'll smoke and put yourself at greater risk for a whole host of diseases which are largely preventable. Plus you wanna have a good quality of life in your older years too, right? Mood: Fucking with your GABA and Seretonin levels is a recipe for unnecessary mood disorders. Mood affects EVERYTHING!!! It affects your enjoyment of life, relationships, motivation, physical health, abil...
