Today I'm going to fuck up my life.

I think I'm going to drink too much and lie to people and lose my job.

What ends up happening to most of us is over time,

you spend too much time thinking about what you need to do and not doing what you need to do.

And I found myself in a situation when I was 41 years old, three kids under the age of 10, where my husband had gone into the restaurant business.

Oh yeah, like complete idiots, we secured it with our life savings.

And the restaurant business was great until 2008 hit.

And like everybody else, the world turns upside down and we found ourselves 800 grand in debt.

The liens hit the house, I lose my job, and...

I couldn't get myself out of bed.

And let's be honest, getting out of bed is a relatively easy thing to do when you think about the mechanics.

I mean, by the time you're 41 years old, you've done it for 41 years.

But the simplest things in life can seem impossible.

when you're overwhelmed or stressed out or anxious or you have so many problems.

Or depressed.

Or depressed or whatever.

And so I just found myself in the situation where I would literally wake up every morning and stare at the ceiling and basically be like, I hate my life.

I hate my husband.

I don't know how I got here.

We're fucked.
