In need of a holiday/break.

 

Today's been pretty shit if I'm honest. I've been shouted at or had really difficult clients in which has taken a big dent on my mood. Completely love working in mental health but it's counterproductive if the work starts making you stress/down having used up all your empathy and motivation.

 

Summer is having a great impact on my mood but it's days like today that make you just feel devalued, irrelevant or useless.

 

Just had a guy scream at me because he was scared of salads — I've been sat here thinking of whether I should have asked him if he preferred Rocket or Spinach.

Respect to people like you who work in things like mental health. No chance I could be strong enough to do it. 

 

You definitely should have asked if he wanted Rocket or Spinach though... 

 

 

I have been up and down like fuck the last month or so , got a job offer last week which is exciting and have a phone interview with a different company tomorrow. Badly need to get back into a routine and get the stress of money/health sorted. 

 

Ive been listening to the Radio (Radio X) everyday as I'm just sat in on my own. I look forward to 4pm when Johnny Vaughan comes on drive-time. Its like living with your best mate and waiting for him to come home form work. Find myself laughing out loud and hard like some sort of release. Sad I know but it helps for a little while.

You’re doing God’s work. I respect the shit out of that.

Sounds like a crap job. What’s the celery like?

There's definitely legume for an increase. It's pretty rubbish at the moment.

Send a few lettuce to your boss asking for a rise. 

[Dr Nowt]

Selfish as fuck mind to include your last line and remove the tap-in of asking why he gave you a rocket.

I'm surprised I have kaled over yet.

[Babb'sBurstNad]

Offer him a sweet, perhaps a Fruit Salad.

 

If he asks why, reply "Just 'cos".

Did you find the root of his problem?

[Captain Turdseye]

I’d have given him a dressing-down.

Hope you do well mate.

 

You should look into local things to get involved with if you want to kick start that routine. Plenty of stuff around town and the likes.

"Back! Back, creature of the night!"

Cant believe no-one asked him to take a leaf out his book

Christ on a bike. When they say exercise is good for anxiety they really need to be clearer in saying moderate exercise is good for anxiety. Not deadlifting your bodyweight or more which raises your heart rate and body temperature and creates the same sensation as having a panic attack and so leaves your head fucked for a week.

I also learned that the hard way. I thought I was having a heart attack when my heart rate took a long time to get back to normal. Fucked me head up for a week.

Yeah, I was still gasping for breath an hour later and really crashed later in the evening. I'll definitely not be doing that again.

No mate, not looking at Jim Milner bleep test levels here. Half hour walk in the day. Im lucky enough to work somewhere where we have a decent sized campus and nearby woodland for a lunchtime stroll and it does make a difference.

Yeah mate, definitely going to have to tone it down.

Been suffering from depression and anxiety for a couple of years now, apart from a few lapses think I’ve got the depression under control for the main but the anxiety is a fucking bitch. 

 

Just washes over me a feeling of impending doom. Feel like I’ve just got the worst news imaginable, like a death in the family or something. Horrible feeling.

Sometimes I get into a stressed state but when I actually think what I'm worried about there's nothing, then I'm fine. I think my brain actually enjoys worrying.
