Distracted

[pegkerr]

I will just say, vaguely, that there has been a lot of stress this week. I have been coping with it in a tried and true manner: reading much too much. I'm not depressed, though. I am just trying to disappear from the world and lose myself in an imaginary one. The urge is really extremely strong. I have been in a state where I don't want to stop reading for any reason at all, not work, not all the household stuff that needs to be done, not reading my LiveJournal friends page, not sleep, not anything. It is most annoying. And exhausting.

I am also eating too much and not exercising enough.

Glad I'm not the only one who deals with stress that way. I don't remove the sources of my stress, but I get a lot of reading done.

I also get reallllllly crabby when hauled away from said reading.

Not the best of solutions, but there are far worse ways of dealing with stress.

Speaking as one who's done of great deal of "inappropriate stress dealing with" (and I have the emotional scars to prove it), I sure agree with you.
