Despair

I truly do not want to be here. I feel burdened and weighted down and I want to run. I realize that I have wanted to run for a long time, and planning for Ecuador and moving away for a year was a way to avoid the reality of my life here.

I met with a former colleague for breakfast at Miss Shirley's, which reminded me of the struggles I had at my former office. The secretary was guilty of embezzlement, which explains why I argued with her all the time. Unfortunately I did not save my records. I presumed she was incompetent, and finally gave up and left the office and started on my own. Now I have learned that the secretary stole tens of thousands of dollars and that may explain why my accounts were so disappointing. I am told by the administrator that nothing was stolen from me, and I have no way to find out the truth. Eric tells me to let it go, but I am unable to. I feel disappointed and cheated.

The renters left three months early and did not pay rent for those months. The house needs so much work and we have no money to fix what needs to be fixed. We are so far behind financially, and I need to work intensively to pay for the repairs. The psychiatrist who cared for my practice saw patients every three months, so there are almost no patients this week and it will take months to get the practice moving, and I have no interest or desire to be working anyway.

I feel trapped. I do not want to be here!!!!! What do I want? Where do I want to be? What do I want to be, do, see, where, how, why, what?
