Floods and erosion

Today was exceptionally bad. Not just the weather.

Stared at emails, couldn’t reply. Stared at the screen, couldn’t type. Stared at papers, couldn’t read. Sat in meetings, couldn’t talk.

Feeling so fatigued all the time, although I’ve already been getting more sleep than usual.

Being poooh-ed into a downward spiral.

Since when did I start becoming so self-destructive? So full of doubt? So irritable, so full of anxiety? So unable to cope?

Lunchtimes, the outdoors, the cinema – these are but temporary relief, only for as long as they last.

This crippling inability to do pretty much anything at all, including the thing I need to do most urgently, is such torment!

So much counts for nothing; so little for so much.

    The signals all point to the conclusion that U need a vacation and a break from everything.

    Shift the heavy load off your shoulders and delegate, delegate and reassign to others.

    The world won’t come to an end when u take a well deserved break.

    I know what all that feels like cuz I have been to the abyss.
