I am feeling very sick and I am so tired, my head is so heavy and aching badly. I have no energy to sit for another 3hrs. Wish I could go home and take a nap. These days I feel terrible to take a day off or leave early from office. I do that when ever T falls sick. I have no energy to ask my manager if I could go home early. I am neither able to concentrate on my work nor have the mindset to leave home early. I hate being sick. T is out of her antibiotic and from yesterday R and I are feeling low. Waiting for the weekend, I badly need one.
Again Org changes and now I have moved from my old team to this, my work or role has not changed except my desk. Yesterday I moved to this new location. I feel home sick, feel like I moved from my parent’s home to my In-Law’s home. Only good part abt this new place is I have a beautiful view overlooking the mountains. It’s been raining a lot and it colder, I wish spring comes early this year before I kill myself out of depression and lack of sunlight. This is the first time I am experiencing depression due to weather. When I came to this country, I heard people talking about depression and I used to think it’s an excuse, but this year though I am not worried or tensed specifically abt anything I still see myself depressed. Now I can imagine why our ancestors worshiped Surya Baghvan(Sun god). I am planning to add Surya Baghvan and start worshiping if that makes the weather better.
Hang in there, it does get better. For depression and sickness, two things worked for me last week:
and it seems to have helped me.
(1) go to gym, or a brisk 20 min walk (2) Recently I read a mystery novel that totally absorbed my brain. My brain got a complete break from the non-sense of life
btw depression is not an excuse
and I feel it’s a product of our environment here. Make sure you have lots of friends and socialize on weekends. Time to review your medications if you are taking any especially BCPs. Been there, done that!
Thanks Mamata, GYM it makes me feel better too, but went day before yesterday and now I am sick with cold and cough and no energy to do exercise. I must do ..Good idea on the reading front..will try.
I realized I have very few friends here and that could be one of the reason for depression.
Also I think I should check my hormones, after T was born I stopped visiting Drs. I must get a regular check up done.
Awww! dont get the weather get you rey…go and hug T…have some chocolates….order some hot steaming pizzas and cuddle T and hubby in the cold weather under a warm blanket…see are you feeling better now?
That’s what R did, he got cake and ice cream and we all had in spite of our cold. I felt very good and had a nice sleep. My head is still heavy, I will relax over the weekend. Thanks for the warm messages, makes me feel a lot better.
Hope you get out of all bad vibes soon.
Hugs ur way.
