Because there is no grand problem at the moment, I'm feeling restless.

I finished my work completely (no work at home during this weekend)

I left work early

I am not stressed about work per se, except for some arguements and stuff with a friend at work. But I believe it is not weighing on me much.

I even had time to watch a movie after work!

Now, I should be focusing on other aspects of my life... but I'm restless. I'm anxious. It feels like I'm waiting for the next shoe to drop. It feels like I have things undone. (Well, yeah, I do in my personal life) but instead of doing them I'm just stressed about nothing. (Usually I don't do them when I'm stressed about work, but I don't have work.)

I don't want this to happen to me...but the guilt for some reason is eating me, the feeling of unworthiness (even if objectively I know I'm wrong to feel it) is messing with my mind.
Even my family have noticed how low I've been feeling recently, and those are people I don't want them to see how deep I've fallen. (after my workmates)

I miss the days I had hypomania when I felt in harmony with the world. I don't know if I miss it or if I wish I never tasted it.

I can't believe the psychiatrist told me I am neutral now. I don't feel neutral, but perhaps this is my neutral and this is who I am.

Oh god help me.

I used to be that way. I was a supervisor so i was on on call 24/7 it was years ago. And the anxiety still hasn't left. I still check my phone at 2 or 3 am hoping that no one called in off work or was trying to reach me. I quit that job due to the stress and its still haunting me. 2 or 3 people called in once and i had to cover all their shifts working 36 hours straight with no sleep. Because no one else wanted to work. That was the straw for me that broke the camel's back. So now i have to keep my ringers turned off because of the anxiety of hearing the phone ring. I have 1 phone that no one knows the number to but immediate family and i only carry that one for peace of mind.
