I have been struggling a great deal for the past few weeks. I had a not-insignificant dental surgery late last month, and since then I've had stomach upset, stress, and expectations in my life keep piling on. I think I've figured out why my stomach has been so upset, but in the time I've been recovering, I've lost valuable time preparing my apartment for an inspection this Friday.
My ADHD makes it impossible to keep up with cleanliness and tidiness on the best of days, so I have a little more than 24 hours to clean my apartment, and it's going to tough. Please pray I can get it done, so I won't have a failed inspection and re-inspection weighing over me. I have another, minor dental operation on Tuesday next week, and I'd really like to not have the stress slow my recovery from that one.
Perhaps even more importantly, my spiritual well-being has taken a hit as of late, because being sick means I've been isolated from friends and family and my church group. Even this morning I stumbled into sin, and I confess before God that I've erred against Him. I need to find my center again and keep my focus on Him, instead of rushing to my old coping mechanisms for stress and depression.
