I started my podcast to talk about daily life in recovery, and that means showing up even when I’m in a slump. While I don’t feel hopeless, I’m frustrated with no inspiring suggestions for rising out of it. I’m physically and mentally drained, and I just need to say it out loud to acknowledge that I’m in a brief season of poopiness. Even though I know what helps, some days I don’t want to do any of it. I’ve been pulling away from things that hurt my head, limiting screen time, using VoiceOver on my phone, but that creates a sense of isolation. It feels like I’m cutting myself off, but really, I’m leaning in to take care of myself.
I forget I’m living in a body that can’t do what it used to. I’m 51, and I don’t feel like I should be this limited, and that grief bubbles up sometimes. My podcast gives me a place to say the hard things out loud, and I know someone else out there might need to hear it. I’ll keep showing up, because the only way to the other side of the hard stuff is through it.
