How Are You Feeling Right Now?

Update: Brother is feeling much better, so apparently it's an infection (since all they've done is give him antibiotics - he's still waiting for the results of the scan).

I am SO relieved. I tend to catastrophize, and I'm so glad it's something that hopefully they can fix. I don't understand why almost everyone I know who's had surgery gets an infection though.
Good news he’s feeling better. Catastrophizing can be challenging, I’m the same, expecting the worst, but using the ‘check the facts’ technique can be helpful. Xx

Today has been a bit overwhelming trying to manage my ordinary work and this new gig. There's been so much information to take in and I've done a few small jobs but am not very confident, you kind of get left to figure it out and am not entirely sure it's going to be easier than my normal work, but I suppose anything new is going to be hard at first. I feel tired though, lost track of time doing my onboarding and training tasks. I'm mainly off from the day job next week so can hopefully get to grips with it then. I've learned mainly not to open a project to see what it entails as the clock starts ticking and if you don't finish that project page it doesn't save so if you quit half way through you'd lose all progress/not get paid. Just learning the system has taken a lot.

Gah, my brain isn't what it used to be 😥

I'm tired and gone to bed. It's been nearly 30c here which makes me miserable anyway while ironically I've got a cold or virus due to start of autumn and today I tried to also start a new unfamiliar job as well as do my regular job and there I am wondering why I feel like I'm imploding. I'll try to get some sleep. Maybe 2nd job isn't a good idea right now, I don't desperately need the extra money but extra money is always nice and reassuring. Sending love to everyone on SF ❤️❤️❤️
 
Anxious about the black sash tai chi test. More and more people are dropping out of the test. I meant to take it with others so I wouldn't go solo. I don't HAVE to do it, I just want to so I can start cardio-kickboxing without pressure about tai chi. I have 2 months to decide.

Down, demotivated, depressed. Probably because I didn't get much sleep due to my schedule and I also had to skip taking my Latuda because I was working an overnight shift and i feel like i usually get really tired after that one. It'll be like this every Wednesday night into Thursday, so that makes me wonder why I bother.
 
I'm having one of my horrible turns where I feel very shaky and light headed. I've eaten something and have tried to calm down, and am now in cool air conditioned room with a cup of tea. They always seem to be triggered by some kind of stress and it's like my body overreacts to the squirt of adrenaline. Not sure what it is really, except they do go off after a while. Just fed up of always doing my bit when others fail to do theirs. I've been sitting around no idea if I could have gone back home as my 6.30 hasn't replied to say if they're coming and the person who cancelled the earlier meeting hasn't filed the paperwork like they promised so I could action some of the work in any case.

Still on pending with the other work I applied for - it would have been a lot more remote and computer based which would have cut out bus rides and dealing with all the cancellations and uncertainties, but it looks like I did really flunk it, been over a week now. 😥
Oh I'm sorry....I hope God shows you some other way..HUGS🫂🫂

Thankful that your brother is feeling well..I hope he heals from it..

I thought I was being really brave going on holiday on my own but in reality I just feel very lonely. I'm sitting here at breakfast and everyone is with family or friends and I'm alone. I wish I hadn't come.
