Had a terrible day yesterday where I just couldn’t muster the motivation to get out of bed for work. Now I feel so ashamed and mad at myself. Trying to give myself grace and knowing it doesn’t make me a bad person is hard sometimes.

I’ve suffered from workaholism for a long time. Thanks to a lot of great self help books and therapy, I’m no longer putting work on a pedestal and I’m spending a lot more time on self care and my marriage.

It’s this terrible feeling of like anguish/unease in my gut, but I don’t have anything I’m worried about- it’s like my body wants to find something to worry about.
