On a knife edge this morning.

Oakling

Been at work less than an hour and already fought off 2 meltdowns. Not doing well at all today and concerned about having a meltdown at work. It’s never happened here before and I don’t want it to either. Genuinely worried at the moment.

I have a meeting in a week and a half to discuss adjustments. I just need to make it until then. But I’m at a tipping point right now.

  • Hello everyone. I’m sorry for this message, but to be honest, I could do with some support in not feeling so alone at the moment.

    It turns out the knife-edge moment described in this post was to one of a series that have developed as the week has gone on. Everyday this week has been similar and I have never felt so disconnected to the world around me than I do now. Every social situation I find myself in is a puzzle, like they often are, but they are now impossible. I’m feeling very paranoid about the people around me as a result of the difficulties I’m experiencing in reading them. 

    Im so close to melting down every day it seems. Even now as I sit and write this. I just feel so alone right now. In a world full of people, here I am, the imposter who doesn’t quite get it. 

    I think the reality is that I am mid burnout, but this one has snuck up on me with no warning. I have never cried this much in my life, but now I can’t seem to stop. Over the smallest thing, off I go. What’s all of that about?

    Anyway, as I said before, sorry for this post. I try not to do this sort of thing if I can help it, but I could do with that feeling of community that I get here.

    You really don’t need to apologise - most of us have felt similar feelings many times. You’re not alone - this community is always here for you. Sometimes we just need to cry - it’s best to welcome the release of that because if the body needs to cry then it’s doing so for a reason. Let it out - it’s just a natural way for your body to cope and release tension and distress. A better day is usually just around the corner Rainbow
