beautiful morning
I went to work this morning....lost and depressed, challenged to find the answers again for the day.
Wasn't so motivated when I got to work, I felt the cold shoulder from some of my workmates
but I chose not to believe it - and sure enough - other folks were friendly and generous to my hellos
and good mornings. I chocked it up to just how some people focus intensely at work - in order to get the
job done. I get that.
Anyways back to getting to work. It went well but I started to really think I'd like to do something else.
Something more rewarding and yet with that kind of thought - I started to become squeamish and dismissive
of my current job - thought of 'just wanting to quit!' - and I recoiled - I know I can't do that. This is about surivival
and just decided to work through the momentary mixed up depression - pushed through it - and I got back to work - focus- and got into and
just had a good day afterall!
Then I came home, had lunch, watched some news and changed clothes and went to the office. Likewise
my sense of urgency at the office is there too - I want to do a good job for my boss - He's not there most of the time
but I don't want to goof off - and accepting the task of finding new avenues for our plans (that is my research there)
just is what it is. I am grateful for the chance and though I feel kind of lost at times there - I know I am doing a good
job - and it's a great opportunity.
Anwyays I left a little while ago and got home - picked the mail - and thought about wanting to call my therapist.
I wanted to 'just let it all hang loose with her' - (vent)- and yet I knew I probably just wanted to socialize which would be the smarter thing for me to do... The illness/struggle can be very isolating - and to call a friend just seemed like not the good answer.
I decided to come here and vent with my support group. And PS. in my research today I found that Scientific studies
have said that online support groups are in fact a very good social connection for people struggling with mental health issues. !! yay!!
Thanks and have a good day! Namaste!!!
