Still working. One of the cancellations decided they wanted to do the meeting after all - remotely. So the other cancellation gave me time to get home in time to do it from home. For a change the bus was sane and straight through, even though I had to travel at rush hour. Or maybe I was more sane. It's been a difficult day, my mind kept obsessing on tiny things and I was getting pretty wound up, but once I'd done a meeting I felt more chilled. Not had a repeat of Friday's dazed and panicked state. Got to to talk for another hour. While I have a lot of stress, both short term and long term, I'm not feeling quite as panicky or edgy, which is amazing really. Another day almost survived.

Angry. So unbelievably angry and I can’t even say why. The things I am putatively upset about are relatively small, first world problems. Yet I feel like I’m the victim of a crime against humanity.

I know that there are people who are currently suffering actual insults to their basic human rights, which just makes me feel like I’m making a huge deal about nothing. I hate feeling this way. I try to get out of it, and then it gets worse because I can’t stop thinking about it.

Sorry to hear that my friend. I often get angry over small inconsequential things but try to remind myself that some people have to walk 10 miles just for clean drinking water, or are being bombed or in jail cells. Sometimes helps, other times makes me feel guilty for being annoyed by trivial things.

I'm tired but reasonably positive. I've got mountains to climb, but I feel like I've at least found a bit of rope. Lot of kit still missing, feet are sore, mountain range is still massive, but in this moment at least it feels like I could begin to put one foot in front of the other and tackle the foothills. If I have energy and am well, there are things I can do to manage my situation. When I am unwell and feel burned out, things feel hopeless, so any small feelings of wellness or energy make me feel more optimistic.

Crushed, sad, raw, alone & scared. i wish the tears fixed something.
I wish I could help with the fear especially. Hopeful that life becomes more gentle on you FlamingoWrangler.

Tears remove toxins, are antiseptic, cathartic, and assist our neurology to reduce nervous strain on our hearts. I'm very sorry you're feeling this sad.

Thanks @seabird , your kindness is appreciated.
—And thanks for the new word- pedantic.

Feeling a bit like I was being used at work. We didn't have someone to assign the one extra task to at work, so we were trading off who would do it each hour, but then at one point we stopped and I ended up doing it the rest of the shift, but I wasn't prepared because I was under the impression that I wouldn't have it for the next 2 and a half hours, which really seemed unfair.
