Why do I feel so bloody miserable

[widowtwankywashroom]

I am getting on my own nerves I know I am unreasonable
But I am so bloody miserable
I am not depressed, not even sad, just miserable
I don't have financial problems, I have a happy marriage

I don't like my job and am looking for a way out but it just seems to be taking over my life I spend all week waiting for weekend - to spend weekend not wanting to go to work on Monday

I need a reality check!

Are you buffering the miserable job by putting stuff in your diary that you do enjoy and look forward to? It really helps me get through times of life that are hard. February for example.

I have started to do this - last day of the month
What Have I done
What have i got to look forward to

Im miserable, tired and cold all the time recently.

Im going down the low iron, possibly low Vitamin D route...

Well that’s a good start. I plan like mad so I always have things to look forward to. Small things like a weekly coffee with x and a weekly class on Thursday and a takeaway on Tuesday. Bigger things like a catch up lunch next month and a holiday in May.

You get the idea but being proactive is the only way to do this because, kindly, who else is going to do it?

Even tiny things like a Wednesday nicer lunch can help. As can getting chores done through the week wherever possible so weekends really are a break. Not always possible for sure.

Anyway there are some ideas. And some form of exercise every single day.

Yes I know I am the only person who can help, I am trying I really am, bit hard to do exercise every day when 4 days out of 7 you're out of the house 12 hours a day, but I do get out the other days and I am learning a musical instrument
so that taking my mind off being a miserable cow

Get your thyroid checked too

Drink heavily on a Sunday afternoon and evening to mask the pain of returning to another week of graft. Works for me. Joke BTW!

What is it about your job OP? Could you apply for another job within your organisation or is it the organisation as a whole?

All bloods ok I can't even blame my hormones
I just hate my job, there isn't one bit of it I like and yes I can try and compartmentalise it, but its taking over my whole life
I am applying for other jobs and looking at redeployment but none of them are quick options

I am frightened to drink in case I start crying
