Taking charge of my well being!

Hi @Former-Member

After having a huge teary morning I went to work. Was okay until lunch time where I lost it again.

I am home now, just had dinner. My son did call us tonight so that has released a bit of my high anxiety.

Going tomorrow to art therapy, hoping that will be okay.

HI @BlueBay

How have you been the first couple of days since your son left? Are you starting to feel more confident?

Good morning everyone,

I had a shocker of a day yesterday at work, that really crushed me. I vented. At work and several times after. Now I have parked or rather dismissed the subject. There was so much anger, and I voiced it and then all of the sudden I just felt exhausted. Perhaps I am starting to learn how to deal with difficult emotions? Not sure if the venting was done in an appropriate manner, but I am sure I can fine tune over the time.

One thing that is really helping me is remind myself why I work, what I like about work, what is good at work... and also how important it is for my mental health (apart from yesterday). I think leaving the work force now would make things a lot worse.

Morning @Former-Member,

You are doing well and still looking for the rose not the thorn in all of this. I am feeling the full force of my emotions lately and it is exhausting. Hoping that work today is a little less full on😊💜

Good morning @Former-Member

I hope your storm of emotions will pass soon. What are you trying to do to help make you feel better?

I think work might be even a bit more challenging today. Apparently I must not have looked & talked clearly with my social worker yesterday as I had to promise to call my GP and psych today. I do admit that I can feel a crash is coming up - I had my last phone conference in bed last night and have been up since 4am to prepare my presentation for today. I think my anger is giving me energy.

I hope you're feeling a little better today @Former-Member sending you a big hug!

@Former-Member

Wow - that's impressive!!!

Now you have found the reasons you work - and maybe venting at work is not the best place - but I did it work once - and actually gathered my things and walked out - but they chased me - wanting me back

Learning to control our emotions is a work-in-progress - you have made a start, self-calmed and got on with the job with a new perspective - that's good

Everyone does their na-na at times - yesterday was your turn - it seems to have had a good effect on you

I am pleasantly impressed - goodonyer girl wtg
