I fight hard. \u00a0I fight to keep afloat but it always happens. \u00a0I&#8217;m in debt again. \u00a0My plans to have money in my personal and business accounts by now have failed. I&#8217;ve worked as hard as ever but to no avail. I fight and fight but always hit a stumbling block. \u00a0I push and push and make myself unwell just to keep my head above water but it&#8217;s failing. \u00a0Maybe there is a God and maybe I&#8217;m being punished. \u00a0I&#8217;ve been punished my whole life so why should things change now. \u00a0I&#8217;m not a nice person no matter how hard I try to be decent and kind. \u00a0I&#8217;m tired of this bipolarity and see that it will only get worse as I get older. \u00a0I see it every year. I try to keep going and keep balanced yet I get pushed and pulled from all sides. \u00a0There is no respite. \u00a0I can see when things started to go wrong but there&#8217;s no way of going back in time. It is what it is. \u00a0I have no choice now other than to keep going and work stupid hours. \u00a0I know I&#8217;ll get tired. I know that it will affect my mental health again and I know I&#8217;ll probably break. \u00a0Maybe I should just embrace the craziness of it all and let it flow. \u00a0I have to work lots just to get the money in fast because I have an operation on 12th October so will be off work for at least 2 weeks. \u00a0I&#8217;m not sure I&#8217;ll be ahead by then though. \u00a0It&#8217;s all a huge mess.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every year is like an extended Groundhog Day. \u00a0Things come along and hit around the same time every year.
