Re: Sleeping too much
Hi @utopia after doubting then preparing yest, felt ill as going to bed,barely slept, so more ;doubt' ammo .. Sent 5am text, well, I blew it up basically. Wasnt ready mentally or physically, ambitions vs capablities dunno will do stuff I should have done before this came up. Feeeling a bit stupid, but not as if haven't been in same situation before. I ended up turning phone off and sleeping most of day.
How was your day?

Re: Sleeping too much
I've been in that same place @TAB. You want to work & need to work and then work yourself into a state by thinking of all the worst things. My negative self talk wouldn't shut up the night before I'd try going back to work. It's a shitty feeling. Sorry it happened to you.
But if you're not ready , then your just not ready.
Personal question coming (only answer if youwant to) ..... you are ggetting a centrelink payment aren't you? If so, get a gp to fill out a no capacity for work form. Fod however long you need.
Don't beat yourself up over something that you can't control at the moment.

Re: Sleeping too much
Been there many times re me @utopia. I forget. Yes, re payment and gp cert, so that's something. So I didn't absolutely have to. Told self it was do-able. Didn't turn out that way.. Maybe I should have left it alone. quit last job 6wks ago maybe, left one few days early 8wks ago, left another one early 10 wks ago, but had been there for months, and they were all terrible and very testing, mainly with small companies and people that they attract, lack of organisation, people skills, toxic, basically. Wasn't always like that .It was adding up in my mind, have done this is the past, but if have 'wins' I usually just forget the 'losses' and yes I do short term work, a strategy I came up with years ago, re completing jobs, but it doesn't always work. Don't be sorry. It;s not new for me. It's 'old' ..so to speak..

Re: Sleeping too much
@TAB. That's good if short term jobs work for you. You know better than anyone what works best for you.
I wonder what happened to all the decent bosses. When did it become profits over people?
Just remember @TAB, that it's not a negative that it didn't work out. It just wasn't the right job at the right time for you.
How's things besides the job front?

Re: Sleeping too much
Hey @Former-Member. Sorry you've had a crappy and frustrating night. I was wondering what was going on as you were around but not. Happy to share my dark chocolate coated liquorice if you want. I've been downing that tonight as my feel good thing. Hoping your night gets better. 💜😊
PS always good to have a vent and get it out 👍

Re: Sleeping too much
Ye @utopiaits a lot more pressure than even 5 years ago re work. Crap companies put in low quotes to get work, better companies follow suite etc dunno. I should just do something else. Yes, am ok. Well surving today, and job app kept me amused last week dunno. Had total sloth day. And yes my last reply discounts or doesn't mention my issues. anyway, steady steady. Have been walking if nothing else, wellnot today, did a medical for job last week, could have been a lot worse etc. Going to have to go further into debt before this current situation levels out. Anyway..
And you??..
