Been in a low mood/depressive state for a few weeks. Work wise this has been a few months. I've been working longer shifts and doing it all at home. There has literally been so much to do (at home) that the last few weekends I have not sat down until 9pm each night.
I look like crap in terms of unwashed/brushed hair week in, week out. No makeup/skincare routine. Skin looks dull. I just about drag myself out of bed and roll to my office downstairs every day.
In the short term I need to do a home hair mask/treatment. Re-start skincare to get my glow back. Buy the makeup I have run out of and which I would usually wear. Longer term I need to get my hair roots/colour done and maybe a cut.
Work wise I need to start making an effort and an impression again. Someone said something the other day which reminded me that employees can be put on a personal plan to improve their performance. I would be mortified if this happened to me, despite the fact that I probably deserve to be on one. I need to stop it before it happens.
I need to pull myself out of this sooner rather than later
