On some days, you even don’t want to get out of bed.
You just want to pull the duvet over your head and wait for this whole misery to stop.
Every time you think you can figure it out, you feel even worse.
Because you sort of know that your usual techniques do not work this time.
You struggle to concentrate at work.
Being a workaholic though, don’t allow yourself to slip.
You work. You make things happen.
You probably spend more hours at work than before.
Things seem to take more effort, but you get them done.
You feel like you are doing the same work, but with a 400lb backpack on now.
First of all, because you have difficulties to concentrate and things take longer, because you are just not fully present.
You feel your batteries are running low.
You have no energy.
You struggle to sleep.
You can feel that you are physically weaker than you used to.
You also see that suddenly your work doesn’t have the same meaning.
Even benefits and promotions do not have the same meaning anymore.
Who actually cares about this?
Thinking this, you hardly recognize yourself.
