hey Mick, I'm here,long long day yesterday,lots of issues at work atm and I'm feeling frazzled.I need my manager to step up and I'm not sure he will. I also have new admin worker doing really well and crucial for our team and she may be offered much better job in her old line of work.I've cancelled two days leave next week to get huge amount of work done.

I've literally worked,sat on sofa,ate watched tv - I'm planning to do a bit of exercise today.I just feel all churned up and anxious and low.I may talk to work counselling line on phone today.Feeling sad about potentially quitting rollerderby but I think it's because it's an ending/been a big part of my life - I just can't deal with injury anxiety/some members of team anymore and school girl style bullying/bitching.
I'm being a negative nelly, I guess that's the depression part,I feel a bit hormonal too which never helps.
I still struggle with putting me first,I'm not doing lots of stuff that I feel I should,gym,skating to give myself a break,but am still nagging myself,feeling bad about it.
Not sure how to switch that bit of me off.I may as well be at work today - thinking and stressing about it.

[Mick]

bear ..give yourself a break...you are doing ace...break it all down into manageable chunks ..you aing gonna eat a hefelump!!

feeling frazzled...chill do some exercise...

I need my manager to step up and I'm not sure he will.

tell him...do you have bilats meetings etc? be nice about it ..but just say we need to be a team at the mo its one sided etc..after all he might be relying on you..

I've literally worked,sat on sofa,ate watched tv

bet you never watched telly..probably think you did ..head full of work ..do some exercise ..release those endomorphins!!

Feeling sad about potentially quitting rollerderby

work it out but I think it's because it's an ending/been a big part of my life - I just can't deal with injury anxiety/some members of team anymore and school girl style bullying/bitching.
positives
enjoy it
been a big part of life
look for new interests

negatives
injury
bitching
anxiety/worry
bullying
quitting will leave gap in your life

just do it all like that ..youll be fine

[bear73]

thanks Mick,gym/swim is going to be on the cards - for looking after myself,not beating myself up,
one step at a time - zero drinking thoughts though - and am doing it/have been assertive despite feeling scared

[Lavande]

Good morning Abbers

Sunny but -1F here. Det, thanks for the offer but those 'warm weather' thoughts haven't made it here yet, Ha Ha!!!

Greetings Mick, the coffee man!
I am having a big problem with my youngest grandson, not sure what to do with him. He's developing into a nasty little piece of work, very demanding & exhibits real control freak behavior. I've been honest with my son & DIL about him but they have not corrected his behavior. He actually caused me so much grief last night I ended up with an upset stomach - not good I'm not going to keep watching him if he doesn't pull his head out of his butt very soon. Have I mentioned that this kid was named after YB? Think there's any coincidence??? LOL

bear, we have NO control over anything but ourselves. You need to decide what you want, what is best for you!
Just like this situation with my grandson, my next step is to tell his parents that I won't continue to watch him until he gets a little nicer. I don't have to put up with his nasty behavior. The last words out of his mouth last night were 'Bye Mimom, I hate you'. Screw that!! That's not a good thing & I won't put up with it, I don't have to either.

Greetings to all & sending wishes for a wonderful AF Friday!

KOLD, it is, but it is, in a way, refreshing. This weekend will probably be a complete mess, snow, then rain, we'll be up to our ass-prin bottles in mud before it is all said and done.

not much to report other than the forecast, rather slow time of year, which is ok

Bear, do take care of yourself.

Mae everybody, Mick,I know it's my subconscious mind thinking about stuff, bills,work, not drinking, it's just awful and adds to my anxiety, this morning I couldn't sleep so I took a walk to the store and I felt like I was having a panic attack as soon as I got in there!lack of sleep frazzles my nerves, Det,good advice on the l-glute it's weird cuz during the day after I take it I feel calm so I don't understand why it keeps me up,if it's that, Bear,please try not to feel overwhelmed(look who's talking)you're doing a good job, Lav,I wonder why grandson is acting like that?any changes in his life lately?Hi Sam,I'm gonna go find food, back later

[porqoui]

MAE ALL....checking in from work.

Mick....thanks for the kickstart. Looks like our snow is starting today and temps dropping for tomorrow so no outside for Dad on Saturday. Other than that I'm not up to much this weekend.

Bear...it sucks having work issues, I speak from experience. I hear you about the admin person maybe getting a better job, just went through that and am still dealing with the fallout. I like Mick's idea of breaking it down to manageable chunks. :hug:

Lav....that's not the Thomas the Tank grandson is it? Yes that can be upsetting and I like your response. You don't have to put up with it.

Sam...it's a good thing it's the slow time of year with that weather forecast. Enjoy your indoor day.

Pauly...it's hard to turn that thinking off isn't it. Sorry about the panic attack, you're right about the lack of sleep adding to everything. Hope your day gets better.

Things are starting to get busy around here so must be off. Will check back later.....:smile:PPQP

[paulywogg]

Boring day off but that's ok,spend less money that way Kell and Louie came by for a bit,I made waffles, eggs,bacon and sausage for dinner, kind of a task actually,I like things I can just throw in the oven instead hope all are enjoying their day

[Lavande]

The weekend weather certainly will be sucking - big time Sam, LOL
Not much we can do about it but remember - Spring will be here in a few more weeks, Yay!!!

PQ, sorry you're getting snowed on. Better to have all snow than the crap that is predicted at Sam's & my place.
Yes, that was my Thomas the train grandson blowing up on me. Whatever this stage is it just stinks! He's been exhibiting this behavior for a few months & it's getting worse. He'd better be careful because I'm about to unleash some severe
Lavan-ittude on him, Ha Ha!!!!

Pauly, did you ever get the hormone levels checked? Honestly, you sound just like where I was once upon a time. Getting the hormones balanced isn't a cure all but can be a big help.

I am currently ignoring a text message request from my DIL - something about me watching the boys tomorrow......

[paulywogg]

Lav,they did a hormone check last month, say everything is ok, I don't blame you for ignoring the text haha

[Pie]

Very sorry to hear of all the sucky weather so many are experiencing. Our temps are probably 60+ degrees higher than where Sam and Lav are. Lav, you cracked me up with your ignoring DIL's message comment. Good for you. Hi Mick, Bear, Pauly, PQ, and others.

[Determinator]
