A Job Change and How That Is Impacting My Recovery
Dear Reader, It's been a hot minute since I've posted on my blog and that's been (mostly) because I started a new job! It is a complete 180 from anything I have ever done and the first month was rough. Not because of the people I work with, my supervisor, or my boss, but because of even more unhelpful thought patterns that surfaced as I took this chance on something new. My new job is as an "Amazon Delivery Associate" and well, to put it delicately, it's been challenging. Physically, mentally, and emotionally. Amazon makes it as simple as they can, but there is real life stuff that comes up and you have to be able to make quick decisions. I knew it would be hard to do this new thing but there is the thinking about the hard and then the actual doing of the hard. I may have cried a few times. Strike that. I have cried. More than a few times. One major characteristic of being in recovery from an eating disorder...
