What did you do re: work?

Some would argue that it's impossible to go to work and function in any way when you 'really' have it. I keep seeing things that suggest to me that's not always so ... For me it's when I can't do anything social and I am constantly coming home and going straight to bed and spending my weekend in bed and making lame excuses to not do stuff with people and taking sick days when I know that I really shouldn't be. I will be driving to work and hoping something happens just so I don't have to go that day, it doesn't need to be really bad, it just needs to be something that means I have a valid excuse. i've never been able to make myself do something deliberately though. Somehow I get there and force myself to put on another 'hat'. I have little strategies where, unless i'm meeting a client i won't wear lots of makeup to work normally, just a little, but i know to take my makeup with me during these times because if i have a stupid random crying spell i will need to cover that up. and when i feel like i'm spending more time than usual on something because my head is just fuzzy from not sleeping much and in general.

i suppose i am saying that it is when i feel like i am putting on a front all of the time and escaping from the world at every possible opportunity.

god that makes no sense at all.
