First steps towards feeling better

Last tuesday I asked my boss if I could get some time off to recover from my bad feelings. I was stressed out and had trouble keeping myself under control emotionally. My boss agreed so I am off since wednesday.

My plan is to get myself to feel good again as soon as possible. The first days I used to relax a lot and calm down from the stressful moments at work. I also worked on ideas that I have. I feel quite a lot better already from the fun things that I did so far.

My plan is now to pick one goal that I think is most important to me right now, and focus on it so that I will get it done. If I have completed the goal I will pick a new goal, but not look in the future or be distracted.

I am planning to reach my boss tomorrow morning, to give him an update of my status.

My depression

This is a topic that I have difficulty talking about, but I feel that I have to share. For me this topic quite embarassing because it deals with negative feelings I have about myself and the world around me. My goal is to help you get a better understanding of me, and also I hope to get a better understanding of myself.

For the last few years I’ve begin to feel very depressed and insecure. Some things happened to me that I perceived as real turn-offs, and I began to question the usefulness of my life.

 

I broke up with my partner, and I had a lot of trouble finding a job that suits me. I want to meaningful things for the world, but I don’t succeed in the things I do, and it seems that noone is interested in what I do.

I see the many mistake I made and I feel really bad about them. I constantly feel that I am not productive enough and must do more to earn my space.

I want to reach further and evolve, but Im stuck.

 

I now find myself unmotivated to take good care of myself. Things like eating on time, washing clothes, cleaning the house, visiting friends or family all do not matter much to me anymore.

Having fun or socializing seems like a waste of time. Other people around me are wasting their time and energy on such nonsensical things. I have real difficulty why they just won’t understand me, or listen to me.

I feel caged and I really want to break free.

 

Well, that’s it for now (pfew). I hope it makes some sense.
