Thanks all. Been a bit of a busy day so didn't really get a chance to respond till just now. Had a training course to go on (I'm one of the 2 first aiders at work), which was pretty tiring and full of assessments... muddled through and just tried to keep my mind empty.

Had some pretty nasty nightmares last night... gruesome horror film types which didn't really set my day up very well

In answer to the posts above... Yes, I 'try' to look at the broader picture when I'm in a position to do so... got a horrible habit of becoming very introspective and quiet.. so that can cloud my ability now and then.

Made an effort tonight to do something with the wife.. met up with her after work and went for a small meal in town... listened to her talk about her day and asked her lots of questions... so I think that made her happy.

Really exhausted as I type this... but I do have to be aware of others and I'm going to try and make more of an effort to include them, partially rely on them... and let them know more when I'm struggling... will see how it goes.
