Meltdown

  • Loss of interest
  • Unmotivated
  • Dreading going to therapy
  • Anger
  • Depression
  • Anxiety
  • Dissatisfaction with myself
  • Emotional fatigue or depletion
  • Despair
  • Frustration: unable to breakthrough => leads to ‘Why bother. There’s no point. It’s hopeless. I can’t do anything anyway.’
  • Feeling run-down
  • Profound depression and a kind of emotional and spiritual exhaustion where I feel like I’m running on one battery, without the resiliency to recharge
  • More difficulty interacting with people, both on the job and at home. Very bad tempered, hostile, less patience and tolerance
  • Emotional meltdown
  • Given up on quit smoking because I needed the rush
  • Project
    1. Gym
    2. Communication Arts
    3. Possible camera course
    4. Possible dating
    5. Contact with Ken
    6. Care of Shadow
    7. Hi-Fi
    8. Choose music to soothe
    9. Eat sensibly
    10. Possible brochure

  • No energy now. Previous: Don’t want therapy but results in anger, frustration
  • As therapy becomes more painful and less rewarding, absenteeism is very attractive. Even when physically present, I am often emotionally and mentally absent from the job
  • Fight burnout – Do what you were designed to do
