Being an adult is so difficult. Having to deal with my emotions, on top of managing my expenses and dealing with unexpected things as they pop up is really difficult. Like, I was in the middle of a semi emotional crisis the other day and just trying to function at work, which was hard enough. Then, I started hearing a very concerning gurgling noise come out of my drains. As if I wasn’t struggling enough.
I’m new to this whole adult thing so as soon as my drains started gurgling, I burst into tears. I’m just so overwhelmed trying to get everything in order and understand what I’m meant to be doing with my life. To put into context how much I’m struggling to be an adult – it took me three days after hearing the initial gurgling sound to actually work up the courage to call the drain plumber about the issue. It’s not like I was procrastinating and finally did it after three days, I actually sat by the phone for seventy-two hours straight trying to find the strength to call. It was difficult.
When I finally spoke with the drain plumber, I told him that I had no idea what the issue was and that it was stressing me out. He was very understanding which I was grateful for because I couldn’t have emotionally dealt with a drain cleaning plumber servicing the Melbourne area coming to my house and working on my drains if I hadn’t had a good interaction with him initially. He made me feel at ease and because of that, I was able to book him in to come to my house and clean/repair my drains. He’ll be coming on Monday which is only a couple of days away.
I’m just going to take this whole situation day by day. It’s about as much as I can handle at the moment and I don’t want to take on much more.
