Today I erupted....I have been getting only 4-5 hrs sleep for the past 6 weeks and am moody, depressed, anxious and live in a fog. I have not been able to concentrate and have messed up at work on numerous occasions. Today I erupted......and I promise i have the best boss in the whole world
He sat down next to me and told me he couldn't begin to understand the hell I was going through and could only imagine the pain and anguish I was suffering, but he was going to keep reminding me that we are a team and he has my back. I was not to worry as this was temporary - doesn't matter how long that temporary is, it is not for ever. I should say when I can't do it and ask when I want help and if I want time away I just take it. Eventually, (he said) "you will be back causing havoc and ensuring we are all on our toes again and until that time we will carry you along with us...."
I cried some more and then managed to achieve some small goals for the first time in weeks!
