Not feeling great. My mood crashes in the evening.
Do you do anything to tackle it? When I noticed my mood crashing late evenings I started to see it as as signal to stop, slow down, rid myself of screens and just write off everything and ease towards bedtime. I'm not always successful at doing this but I definitely start feeling frustrated and low so I treat myself like my phone flashing red, and plug in for a recharge. Seems to help a bit.

Annoyed. Why have a Project Slack if the following conditions apply:

1) Admins don't reply to questions
2) One admin replies to a question, and then a day later another admin replies with a totally different and contradictory answer to the same question.
3) They post an update clarifying FINALLY how things should be done going forward then
4) Another answer pops up 2 days later saying you should do it the way it was done before the announcement.

Of course none of this is cleaned up so you search the Slack and end up with 5 answers or announcements any one of which could be the right one.

They are mad on workers labelling which project ID we are referring to, but when it comes to answering questions they use lazy language like "Use x for this project for now" which could be referring to 3 different projects on that Slack channel. IT experts again, can work miracles with tech but their written expression leaves a lot to be desired.

So when they don't answer a question is it because a) It's too stupid a question to deign to answer it? or b) they've completely missed the question? or c) they just can't be arsed?

Takes the joy out of work some days as I'm ploughing on with a nag at the back of my mind that I'm doing something wrong despite having asked for clarity five times!

The joys of tech! My very first job was cleaning up IT documentation, rewriting it and turning it into end user instructions, back in 1990s, I didn't think I'd end up back in tech at this point in my life but it seems while much has changed, some things are still the same!

Yes I've tried those things. The only thing that seems to help is a micro-dose of THC. It's not just fatigue and happens as early as 6pm. Diurnal mood variation is common in the evenings with Atypical depression which is what I have.

However, I'm also waiting for something and it's a gruelling wait. Hopefully a resolution soon
 
How nowadays i break down and start crying all of a sudden in middle of lectures in a class of 80 people is just not good for my image and makes me look weak and pathetic.
Weak and pathetic because you are overcome with emotion? I would think a bunch of "healers" would have some compassion. Regardless you must have compassion for yourself and pay no mind to what anyone else thinks. Is there counselling for students?
