Missed a deadline

2 replies

I’ve been doing a scheme at work that I had to apply for and need submit to something in writing at the end. I got an extension for a few months as my mental health has been up and down. I’m perimenopausal, on HRT and anti- depressants too. I was starting to feel better in the summer and have been working on the written piece. I got an email to say the new deadline was today and I’ve missed it. I thought it was 31 Aug. I feel such a fool, so embarrassed. How could I make a mistake like this? I thought I was getting back on top of things. This kind of error just knocks me back massively as feel I can’t trust my brain anymore. It’s no one’s fault but mine. I’m trying not to spiral and am posting here to get the thoughts out. I’ve emailed to explain and hope they will accommodate me. Just needing a handhold really. I am so disappointed in myself. Thank you for reading.

Oops! Mistakes happen! It’s sounds like you’ve made such good progress over summer and one small error like this doesn’t undo all that good work. You said you’ve already messaged to acknowledge the deadline and the honest (minor) mistake.
Be kind to yourself!

Thanks so much! Am feeling a bit paralysed today as this was a shock. I need to get moving again. Thank you taking the time to reply.
