Something’s not right

Help- thoughts are swamping me

Help- thoughts are swamping me

Hey.

I never know which thread to post in and previously have just found a random place to go.

Mum struggling. Struggling bad tonight. My head races.

I don’t think I can go to work but then I also don’t have an option really.

Anxiety over everything I do- to the point where even a single thing I throw out I’m thinking- is it plastic, is it waste why did I make this landfill am I worth that?

It sound seriously ridiculous but that’s how my thoughts have been travelling. I want to quit work but then my brain tells me no I must keep work! If I loose my job then I will never get back into the work force but keeping my job means I’m A wreck every night before work.

Single mumma bear of two kids and even tonight one babe refused to go to sleep!!!

Hoping someone is around to reply

@Zoe7 @JayL

Ph Thankyou sooo much!!!

You guys say it so well. I can relate to all of those things.

The balance and the one area going wrong .

And yes the thoughts.

On Friday I had a really rough session with therapy, dealing with horrid memories and the follow on. And this week has been wrecked with low energy and just feeling so low. I go to work and people know very little how much I struggle but on my lunch break I’m just holding together.

There are days I get home and so exhausted from just working.

Anyways Thankyou.

JayL id love to know more about you

Hey @mudsum How are you travelling today?

Re: Help- thoughts are swamping me

@mudsum I've been trying my hardest to stay calm and happy at work. And I can completely relate with holding it together and people knowing very little of what's going on internally 😞
It all gets a bit much sometimes.
I now take some medication for anxiety before sleeping and just before I go to work which seems to be helping

@mudsum I've been toying with idea more lately on changing jobs. Almost like abandon current problems and starting fresh. But I know with every job comes it's own issues and sometimes it can just be the case of the grass looks greener on the other side

Re: Help- thoughts are swamping me

@musicfanatic so nice to have you here. We are just chatting, about struggles at work.

@JayL you say things that I relate to, I was so planned to quit my job and just go to something real basic. Yes to escape and change. But I too have the concern that the every job will have it’s ups and downs.

Oh I wish it was easy to know.

@Zoe7 well today I finished an assignment. I am feeling really relieved to have that finished. I have one subject left until I have completed this diploma, and wowow wow has it been some time and effort. But it’s something I will take with honour.
Im slowly matablizing the memories from Friday’s session. And just in time for tomorrow’s🤪🤪😬😬🤪🤪 LOL!

How you all going????
