Called in sick to one freelance job that I won't get paid for
Am really behind with another one

Self employed I need to be much more discliplined than I am

Brain fog is dreadful and can't think straight
Client is quite needy and I am worried I haven't done enough
Just feel argh.
What can I do?
Please be kind

Go to your GP for a start?

Oh dear OP! Sending hugs. Migraines are the worst and I suspect your anxiety is only making it worse. The first thing I think you need to do is focus on getting rid of the migraine. Things seem overwhelming when you’re in the thick of one. Have you tried ice packs and sumatriptan? That works for me - but sometimes only with a nights sleep too.

also night time is the worst for worry about things too - your cortisol levels are high and everything seems worse. Maybe you are behind, but you must concentrate on feeling better first and then you can throw your everything into making a plan (maybe just a big to do list!) that will get you back to where you want to be. Good luck OP.

Hi @completelystuckonsofa i would book an appt with the GP.
While you wait for the appt, you could do something to boost your immune system, floradix has really helped me in the past. Juice some veg in the morning. Get some fresh air, literally if i get out and walk, it really refreshes me.
Also, try Spiruilina, you can get it from Holland Barrett or Sainsbury.
Hope you feel better xx

Do you have a list of tasks that need doing for the client, OP?

If yes, prioritise and set a timer for 20 mins tomorrow and start working through. Then a break, then set your timer again.

You'll feel better if you've made some progress.

Yes. I am sure just getting started will help.
Thank you
I just want the world to stop for a couple of weeks.
