what a day!

laney

started out crappy from the start. my taxi to work went a different route and that really stressed me out. then the escalator was broken, so was the lift at the station. when i finally got in my building, there were maintenance guys working on the door. this was really noisy. it also meant i had to go a long way round to get to the bathroom. then i had to swap my laptop at work and it kept doing system upgrades and restarts. plus my day was filled with unnecessary phone calls. and it was super cold and windy outside. i don't know how else to explain this other than a day filled with utter chaos from start to finish. i am thankfully now in bed with my heated blanket and wrapped in my duvet. i did some yoga nidra which has helped a bit but still feeling really ramped up. can anyone else relate? how do you bring yourself back down? i am new here. i realise none of the things that happened were life threatening and i might sound like i am overreacting. but it really really messed with my mood today.

  • My day started with the thought that everything will be off schedule for the day which already set me up for failure (even though I had quite some time to get to terms with that thought). So I started and tried to make my morning feel as normal as possible after only 3 hours of sleep. Then chaos unfolded. First, the bus I wanted to take to get where I was supposed to go just didn’t came. Next, I sprint home, get on my bike and need one hour to get to my destination. By that time I was already 10 minutes late. Turns out, I was at the wrong building, so I got to the right building, now really late and get in. Due to the chaos I forgot to bring a snack and only brought a bit of porridge for breakfast. So my blood sugar was quite low by lunchtime when I had to ride my bike back to get to my chemistry lessons in time. I fell asleep while waiting for the lessons to start. It was a total disaster and I left after the first 40 minutes because I felt myself starting to cry.

    I got on my bike, went home, closed the door and haven‘t opened it since. I put on a show I have already watched several times and just snuggled up on the couch.

    I know that there‘s no life-threatening reason for me to feel like this and honestly I feel a bit stupid but I‘m working on not judging myself to harshly. It‘s okay to be overwhelmed. Give yourself a break!
