I don't know what triggered such a bad day. I'm struggling with work, and I want to message them and ask them to put me on easy jobs today, but then someone else will have to deal with the hard jobs, so it's really not fair to ask.

I just want to crawl in bed and sleep the rest of the day. I'm feeling completely, utterly, 100% alone.

It may not be fair to have someone else do the harder tasks, but its also not fair that you're struggling with your current workload.

You have the right to ask for help when you need it.

((wi_fighter))

You're not alone, I'm far from having a good day myself.

Hope your day gets better. feel like I'm sinking

Oh Crap! I wish I could help somehow. I had a very busy day today and all I did was spend time doing this and that on-line. As a result, due to my own fault, I am now about 3 days behind!!!

I work some days with a "speed" that I don't understand. The very next day presents an ENORMOUS block!!! And I do nothing, despite knowing I should be working.

you are right - my bed (or sleep, if it will happen) is far more enviting that work right now!

I just can't get moving. My eyes keep glazing over and my head feels like a bowling ball.

I have to pick my daughter up in an hour and then get her to her dad's, and then try and finish up the day's work. I'm not even to the half way point and it's taken me five hours to get this far.

I can only hope for a second (or would that be first?) wind this evening.

Is there any way you can fit in a break today before or after you pick up/drop off your daughter??

Be easy on yourself, okay?

Oh Wi, I feel for you. I know that place all too well. I don't know if you want suggestions or not, maybe just to vent it out. It is so hard when we get furthe and further behind. One thing that helped me a long long time ago was actually not working at home. I don't know if you could do the work at a librabry or something but there you won't be distracted. Also, when I was often way behind I would take a day off and then work all night when no one could bother me or interfere. Hey, I am unemployed so don't listen to me.

wi fighter,

You are not alone. Sounds like you are getting really stressed. Take some time out, if you can. A nice lie in the bath with your favourite bubble bath. Shut the door on everyone else. They will cope without you.

Sending you another hug (you helped me a lot earlier today, I am very grateful)

((((((((((((((((((( wi fighter ))))))))))))))))))))

I'm feeling a little better. I took an hour-long nap. I figured it was that, or waste an hour trying to keep myself awake.

My daughter's dad is coming to get her, so I wont have to lose another hour of work time there.

I can't work anywhere but at home. I have special programs loaded on my computer, and it's not a laptop. feel like I'm sinking

Glad your feeling a little better.

Sleep is really important. I feel dreadful when I have'nt slept. I can face the world a little better after a kip.

Hugs.

Oh sweetie, glad the nap helped. Days can be really hard, lifetimes can be really hard. I think you are very determined and that will take you far.

Wi fighter,

Sorry to hear that you are having a bad day. It seems to cycles like that - I wish I had magic words to make it better. All I can do is wish you well. Hang in there.
Anne

I've managed to slog my way through the day.

I wouldn't have managed if I didn't have everyone in here to give me words of understanding and encouragement.

I had a refreshing weekend. I just did whatever I wanted whenever I wanted. I got some much needed rest and got out of the house yesterday.

But ever since I went back on Celexa I've been feeling flatter and flatter. I'm more irritable, and being more irritable makes me feel worse, which makes me feel more irritable.

Pdoc was saying he doesn't have any faith in Celexa, but I said it's worked for me before. This time it's not. I'm going to have to go back to him and say he was right and I was wrong. I hate the thought of that.

Unfortunately, my space is NOT better. I've been in a hole all week. I haven't been even logging on here, and not one person noticed. I know I'm a pain in the *** and not an easy person to be friends with, but NO ONE noticed I wasn't around. Add to that, I seem to have lost a friend and I have no clue what I might have done to make them drop me like a hot potato. Last time we talked, things were great.

Don't let the door hit my *** on the way out, right?

If I had insurance, I would have hospitalized myself.

I couldn't even come in here and ask for any more help because I've been so damn needy lately.

Wi Fighter -

It coulld be all sorts of things that you have already figured out. Do you think it might just have been because it was Friday, and you were tired. How did you do today?
