Lacking direction, unsure of what I need to do and generally just fed up.......

jeez @MDT okay, didnt know, been in similar situation years ago, I got given 2 weeks to get better. I never went back. Some regrets still. Not at the time though

No No No @MDT

You never wasted yout time going to university - it is a time and place for us to have a special life - to be exposed to ideas and to explore our universe - and to grow - it is never wasted

But it is a hard choice - to be sticking with a job you hate and the alternative - doing nothing - I can't speculate on that but I am sure there is something else you could be doing - on-line or delivering -

It's being afraid that ties people down and restricts their choices - sometimes we have to take a risk - and you're unsure - that's natural -

I'm sure I never stayed in a job I hated - and when I was an under-graduate there were jobs and jobs and there were a couple I wouldn't do - but times are different

I wish you the best though - I do - I hope you can find something even if it's voluntary - if you are looking for something else to get paid for then you would be entitled to job-seeker at least - the question is of course can you afford time without pay - and only you know that

Tough choice

Decisions decisions

I dont know Hams, sorry, just telling you what happened with me and my thoughts on solutions, sounds like you need to talk to someone and make decisions @MDT

Aw @MDT - I hear you -

The hardest part about making a decision is getting around to acting on that idea - yes - terrible idea - I know

But about the fog - I don't know but if you are thinking about taking your medication again then perhaps speak to your doctor about it - they might help with the fog

For different reasons I was in a fog for a few weeks recently - caused by my choice between having pain or taking pain killers that made me spacy and it was really hard to have conversations with my case-worker - and I started to feel foggy - but my decision was really easy - I got to a stage where I would rather have the pain than feel spacy - other people would have been okay with the opposite decision - so it gets back to how to get rid of the fog and imo that's the first thing

So what they say a lot on TV is to get out and walk around in the fresh air - I couldn't last week because I was waiting for elective surgery and I had 7 days in total isolation with no leaving the house for any reason and I did feel it - not exactly foggy - but misty - definitely

And to have a routine that suits you and only you - if you want to read in bed for an hour or more in the morning and get up - then do that - and make sure you have a good meal every day - and drink water - and you might find that fog blows away

I'm sure I can find some clipart that will say what I think or how I think you feel - yes - get active and walk out of that fog and I really want to know if that works for you

I seem to have fog in my pictures atm - sending my best thoughts though

Hi @Appleblossom

Not good - it sounds scary - and I think BP medication can be tricky - I am sorry this has happened to you

Cutting down salt - personally that would not be hard when it comes to adding salt because I don't but it's in nearly everything we eat so that is a tough ask - but necessary

Let's know how you are going - and I haven't read about your son yet - I was not at all well physically for a few weeks - I had day surgery last Friday and feel so much better - I think I am among the lucky last few people to have elective surgery now the lock down has been increased

All the best though
