So my brain is all over the place partly because of this court thing tomorrow, but my brain is always all over the place during work anyway.
I don't know if I can't stay focused on my job because:
1. I'm just burned out on it after 15 years?
2. I don't sleep as well as I'd like so I'm always kind of foggy in the morning but then too much caffeine makes me jittery so I don't want to sit still for long?
3. I might have adult ADD?
4. My depression is bugging me more than I realize and if I could get back on Celexa it would help me sleep so I wouldn't be scatter brained and the minor things wouldn't build up and feel like major things, so I could actually concentrate on the major things instead of feeling too overwhelmed by the minor things? Did that make ANY sense?
Then, not getting my work done in a timely fashion makes me a little depressed because it doesn't leave me with enough "me time" to do enjoyable things. I'm a contractor who works production and even when I work a normal work load, they're always asking for more. Shirrrrleeeeey, can you work a few hours extra tonight? Shirrrrleeeey, can you work this weekend?"
I feel like I'm on a motorized hamster wheel without an off switch, and part of it is my own doing. If I could just sit down for 7 good hours and work like a "normal" person I could have a life beyond the computer. As it is, I sit here from 8:00 a.m. until 10:00 p.m. doing a report here and there, checking the boards, checking my mail, anything but work.
I doubt it's ADD, because it only involves my work. I think it's a combination of boredom and mild depression. But can anyone else relate?
