Going emotionally numb, practically running on autopilot most waking hours of the day, making mistakes knowing it was a mistake made, but have no emotional response to it. Decision paralysis over things that were once trivial, afraid you’re going to cause unreal damage that is comically unrealistic.

Just existing because the machine at your heels will grind you up if you stop stumbling forward.

This is where I am and have been since April of last year after losing a job that has plunged me and my family into a financial spiral where we’re about to lose our first family home to foreclosure.
