Today is Melbourne cup I went to work and logged on and burst into tears. My workload was so heavy I didn't know how I was gong to get through it all. The last few days have been terrible, really fla...
Hi Rowdy
This "new normal" sucks. I struggle with it on a daily basis. It feels like post traumatic stress almost. Yes, everyone's expectation is that treatment is over, you're cured so you should be on top of the world. If only it worked like that.
As far as work goes, here's a strategy that I use. I write down what I need to get done in the week and prioritise it. As I complete each task, I cross it off. It actually makes you feel like you are achieving something. You are only one person and you can only do what you can do. Is there someone you can ask to give you a hand? Perhaps go to your manager and get them to prioritise what they need done. And remember the world won't implode if it doesn't all get done this week. It will still be there next week.
Yep, my hubby and kids are he same. Unless you specifically ask for help (and even then sometimes it doesn't happen) they don't think to do things themselves. That one I don't know how you get around. Plan something nice for yourself. Or even a weekend away. Step off the life treadmill if even only for an hour. Yes tomorrow is another day. Hope you feel brighter tomorrow. Take care. Karen xox
