What have you done this week to protect your mental health

[thisisasurvivor]

I will go first

Lovely best friend due to come for 5 daya

Had to say please come another time

My headaches have been so bad all week
I have no energy to speak and i had to cancel

Feel so sad

But my mental health will thank me as I could not manage it all

Honestly - decided to care less about work. I will get done what needs doing, but I'm not going to worry about things that nobody else cares about.

You are all such an inspiration

I'm taking a piece from every single post and keeping it for future use

I'm sick of not prioritising myself

Yes yes yes

I have one piece of work that I have done and gone over and above for and someone is currently picking holes through it and I'm like sod that

You will not bring me down

No chance

Protected my boundary and my rising anxiety around my husbands 'friend'. He is unpleasant and rude and I don't want him in my life making me feel so awful.

Went into the office
Got a pedicure
Bike ride
Cooked

Honestly - decided to care less about work

Oh yeah this

Another one here not rising to the provocation of a teen. Deep breathing.

Making time to go for a swim and sauna once a week.

I feel sooooo much lighter, for the first time in 10yrs I have normal blood pressure!

Saw my psychiatrist on Monday. I see him every Monday.
He's my saviour .( I pay private).

Told a colleague who is not a supervisor or a manager who told me to bend and pick a litter bag and put it in her big black bin bag ??? to it herself and to stop talking and to leave me to work. She said something in her language. I will be re-assessing the situation because working with weirdos or bullies is not for me.

I made the decision that I'm handing in my notice from my job! It's just not working for me any more and I honestly don't need the stress of it. I've also decided that I'm going to use my 3 month notice period to find the right job for me and if that's something totally different, that's OK. I'm telling my boss next week in person and I can't wait!

Don't read the news.

You are all amazing
