Well, it's Monday again...

Drac0Senior Contributor

Well, it's Monday again...

Hello @Former-Member, @PeppiPatty, @BlueBay, @Strugglingmum, @CherryBomb, @Shaz51, @Appleblossom, @Angels333, @NikNik and anyone else I missed.

Well, Monday is here again & the beautiful weather continues around me. I hope everyone had a good weekend without too many up & downs. I know a few of you have a lot of things coming up over the next few days & hope it all goes well.

So how is everyone going today?

For me, I don't know really. Since yesterday I feel myself slipping down a little. The energy & motivations I've been experiencing over the last few weeks seem to be ebbing. I've got a few things I have to do over the next few days and I really don't feel up to facing them. I find I'm even putting simple things off over the last few days, and getting frustrated easily. Hopefully this is only a short term thing and will pass.

I always fear slipping into one of my depressive episodes. They seem to last so long & be so hard to get on top of. I just disconnect from the world. And once I do re-connect I just never know how to approach people, both in real life & online, that I had been in contact with. Last time it happened I disappeared from social media, forums & other online activities for more than 12 months. I only got back on Facebook at the end of January and only re-activated my Twitter today!

I've been in contact with more family & friends online in the last month than I have ever been. Even when I used to be online before I would hide my presence, not letting most people know I was there. This time I haven't held back at all and I really don't want to lose that again. Am I worrying needlessly? Is it just a 'normal' down time? I have no idea.

Sorry all, this post is beginning to look like me just getting my thoughts out there.

But I am really interested to know how everyone is going today. Hopefully there will be a few good news stories around to help lift my mood.

As always, take care, stay safe.

Hi @Shaz51

I was at work today; it was quiet and rainy. I am a little stressed as the other lady i work with is leaving this Friday. And I know that a lot of her work will be put onto me which i do not want at all. i struggle with anxiety among other things and i don't need the pressure.

Just finished dinner and I have cleaned up. Now watching a bit of tv.

What did you do today @Shaz51

Cooked sweet and sour fish for dinner , and now just relaxing

Tomorrow will be a big day , I will be doing housework for a lady and my hubby will be doing odd jobs and gardening for the lady , he is feeling a bit anxious tonight

With your work , have they got someone else to replace the lady that is leaving on friday xx

Hi @Shaz51

No they haven't replaced her; in fact they haven't even advertised!! She gave two weeks notice but as usual everything is left to the last minute. So as of next week if something happens to the computers or the supervisor wants a report printed - i will not know how to do it and i really don't want to know.

We don't have a manager in the pharmacy so it is really difficult. I just hope that they get someone very soon because otherwise i will have a breakdown from over worked and stress.

Sweet and sour fish for dinner sounds really nice. I hope you have a nice day tomorrow. I have a day off work tomorrow and I am having accupuncture; then a GP appt then a session with my DBT therapist. So I have a big day as well.

Take care

Hi @Shaz51

I had a really busy day at work. Got a lot done, but a long day and I am tired now so I think an early night for me too.

It was a warm day here today; wish I didn't work so I could have enjoyed the nice weather. Oh well.

How are you going @Shaz51.

Take care.
