A walk sounds sensible, hunni
Do you think your job is an issue? I know you were excited to begin with but it does seem to have been a struggle recently.
Do you want to talk about psychology?

The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.
I agree, sweetheart you've not been checking in here as much as you were - could that be something adding to the stress? When did you last go swimming? Are you still trying to do everything for everyone too?
Do a little of something that makes you happy every day!
By the time I do my job I have no spoons left for anything so I haven't been doing the things that help. I know I should be and need to kick myself on the butt to try.
The job is not difficult, the people are nice but its draining me... i dont know why.
My symptoms are all over the place and have been since before Christmas, I dont seem to be able to get a handle on them at all.
Ali wants me to leave work to concentrate on looking after me and I think he is right as does my psychologist but I don't feel brave enough to hand in my notice, it's easier to just keep plodding on even though I know it won't help me get better again.
I know it doesn't make sense but I dont like letting people down or leaving them in the lurch....we are so short staffed.
I feel a bit of a failure tbh

You’re not a failure. But you do have to prioritise you - it’s not that long ago you were very seriously ill and you need to make sure you do all you can not to go back to that place. Keeping on top of mental health is bloody hard and takes a lot of resources, maybe that needs to be your ‘job’?

Paula's totally right. If it was one of us in your position, what would you say to us?
I worry that you're struggling and you aren't able to fit in the things you need to do to stay well. I know you feel like a failure, but you aren't, you've identified you're struggling, and you aren't able to do things that help, that Ali is worried about you and wants you to quit - the same with your psychologist... Maybe you need to listen to them?

Oh I do feel I should take a break from working, I'm just too chicken to resign. Confrontation and assertiveness are not my friends right now.

Not too chicken...

Do you think there’d be confrontation? Or maybe they would understand you need to prioritise your health?

How are you today love?

I slept late so I'm only getting going. I've washing on the line and heading to do the weekly shop.
I'm always a bit better on the days I dont work.
