I'm 50, not menopausal but could be going into peri maybe. I am still having periods. I have x 2 DC & DH at home. I work 45 hours a week. I run the whole house, inc finances. DH works too but less hours.
Our house is clean & super organised, thanks to me. I have to have it this way to be able to fully function mentally, especially since I WFH.
Examples - I ensure we never run out of anything. We have everything we need at any point in time - food, spare batteries/light bulbs/fuses/basic stationery needs etc the latter of which are all clearly labelled in boxes. Food shops are all booked in advance. We have no junk drawer/space; if we don't use it then we clearly don't need it and it gets binned/donated/recycled.
Despite all this and keeping on top of things 110% at home, I am finding I cannot function at work. It's not a few job, I know what I am doing/need to do. I don't have any issues with the work to be done. I often just sit staring at my PC, feeling so unmotivated, zero energy, sometimes like I am in a trance. I am certainly not overworked/overwhelmed at work but I find doing anything work related to be overwhelming, even the smallest of tasks. I want to do well, I want to work yet when it comes to it I sit there like a zombie trying to summon up the energy to do something/anything.
What is wrong with me that I have all the energy I need for the house but put me in front of the PC to work and I am literally struggling to function ? The house is perfectly organised but not the extent that I am doing it all hours of the day/night, at the detriment to my day job. I go to bed at a reasonable time. I struggle to get up in the morning and am literally dragging myself to my 'desk (at home), half dressed, half looking like sh*t with old crappy joggers on (I don't need to go on camera for work meetings)
Any advice would be appreciated.
