I was back at my first job at iRobot. Some manager I currently follow on linked in last night had re-hired me.
I was excited to just make money again.
Howerver, I didn’t go to work on my second day because of burnout/depression.
I didn’t go to work on my third day because of the anxiety caused by not letting my employer know what was going on.
On the 4th day I went to work. They mocked my apology when I finally talked to them. While I was gone, manager and his friend coworker stormed the corporate housing I was staying at and put all my stuff on the street. They kicked me out and kept mocking me…
Side note: my friend who is getting a degree in writing warned me that dreams do not follow narrative structure and usually make for a bad story as they only make sense to the dreamer. #writing
But back to the main topic: poor mental health can be absolutely paralyzing. I could totally see myself beeing frozen at the idea of missing work and scolding myself for omitting to warn my employer, putting even more pressure on myself (“I’m a failure”), making myself even more paralyzed, skiping even more work…
I am getting anxiety just writing about this FICTIONAL situation.
And for today: unplug your laptop.
This incoming geomagnetic storm my disrupt electricity transmission. It would be a shame to run out of battery when there is now power
