How´s it going?

HI Everyone,

It was an ok day. I am going to a job fair tomorrow and decided to get a mani-pedi, something I normally love. But the entire time I just wanted to leave.

At least I get to sleep in tomorrow. I took off for the job fair that is in the afternoon and decided to take Friday as a a mental health day.

How´s it going?

So I've had a decent few days. I went to a job fair Thursday, but it did not seem to be all that great. But I know it was a good first step in putting my foot out there and looking for a new job. I know my current job is sucking the life out of me.

Friday I took a mental health day from work and just slept in. I did go and check out another store to see what organic stuff they have. It is closer then Whole Foods, so it is a good place to go.

Saturday I did participate in my zombie 5k and I have a survivor metal. It was ok, but I have done better ones recently. I do wish I was in a better mood to enjoy. My friend who was in the race with me wanted to go to some event at a restaurant and it was ok, but I wanted to leave after a while and wish I drove myself.

I went to my friends parent's church today and I do kinda of like it, but I don't know. I feel the need to keep looking. I am also in a a lot of pain. I went to lunch with my friend and her parents and her dad was like, are you ok? You are kind of quiet, but I just shrugged.

On Saturday I went and saw the doctor. He only met with me for 30 minutes at the most and prescribed  burpopion and I am not sure if I want to take it or stay on the herbal Sam-e (which has had some great studies done in the past few years). I was looking at burpopion and saw some things I am wondering about. I did tell him I have been taking sam-e since Tuesday and he really did not know anything about it and was just lumping all herbals in one pile. I'm confused and wondering if I should wait a week to try it or not. I need to get a 2nd opinion.
 
I still feel a little out of it. If I was allowed to, I would sleep all day. I do feel as if I am getting better, but I wish my mind would shut off sometimes.
 
I hope everyone is doing ok also.

How´s it going?

I was glad to be done. There were so many hills. We finished under an hour, which is not bad when we walked most of it, since the first hill was insane and running from zombies is hard. When I run/walk I sometimes feel calmer at times I guess? I can get lost in my thoughts also. When I walk alone I listen to my Christian music. Sleeping I like to think helps, but I believe its only because I don't remember my dreams or anything. I like to write. I use to journal when I was in college. I have thought of digging up the site I used to lose, but sometimes I just don't have the energy. I'm hoping to get a 2nd opinion too, I just felt like the person was not really listening. He also had no idea what SAM-e was and there have been several interesting studies done over the years.

How´s it going?

So today was interesting,

I was off for two days, so that just means craziness when I go back in. Apparently there was some issues regarding managers handling stuff between each other and leaving HR is the dark and this lead to another manager being mad at HR. Not much we can do, since we were left out of the decisions.

One of the people I hired (who I was not a fan of) might become a problem :( Hopefully it does not make me look bad, as I made it known I did not think they were good enough for the position.

Have a former employee banned from all sites who wants to come in tomorrow to get paperwork....knowing she is banned :/

Also an error was brought to my attention and I had to go tell my boss :/ I fixed it, but it was expensive.

All I know at this point is my desks are a mess and it is annoys me. I wanted to hide under my desk or at least shut my door.

I also have to prepare next week to speak at our annual meeting, which means speaking in front of over 300 people, including board members :(

Good note: I was able to go for a walk during lunch and I think the Sam-e might be working some.

How´s it going?

It can be busy, a lot of it was me being out Thursday and Friday. But we are getting ready for our open enrollment for benefits, so my next month will be sort of busy. A lot of times I find things to do since my supervisor has never trained me on a lot of stuff and I have been in my position almost a month. It's the reason I am looking for a new career and also I am burnt out there.

Thankfully due to time, the normal benefits presentation has been shorten. The most I will have to speak is like 15 minutes. I'm going to spend the rest of the meeting taking photos or attempting to. I am not the great photography of people, as I mainly take nature shots. But I get bored and tune out things if I sit too long.
 
Finding things to do outside of work is a good thing, because eventually, work ends (hopefully when you are young enough).
 
Thank you for your compliment :)

Very interesting study. It is interesting to read about the studies done for different treatment or "cures" for depression.

I'm glad you are ok, that had to be scary for a moment.

How´s it going?

I've decided I like my therapist a lot better then my shrink. I don;t believe having the shrink talk to me for 20 minutes and then giving me anti-depressions is the answers especially when there are other herbal type things to take. He actually said a lot of studies have proven herbals to be worthless, yet he never heard of Sam-e and there are studies done on how successful it can be. My therapist actually talks to me and she told me that I am educated enough to make my own decision, but to inform my shrink I will be rescheduling my appointment, since I do decide to take the anti-depressions the next appointment may be too short of a time for a different.

I managed today to almost slam into about 4 or 5 different coworkers and actually run into one. My office is not in a great spot when it comes to me running in and out to do things :/ There are a lot of things going on and I really just need to get through this period of work and seriously begin to look elsewhere for a new career.

breaking the walls of negative core belief

I believe breaking the walls takes times. As much as I wish that it could be done quicker.
 
I try to meditate with my bible or a bible devotionals. I know it does not work for everyone, but with everything going on the past few months for me, I came to my own conclusion how far from my faith I have drifted.
