Mental Health in the Pandemic

 This week I had a hard time at work...I think I've learned that I even I have limits, and that breaks, real breaks without thinking about work, are important.

Waiting for life to happen, waiting for things to be better in life is hard, sometimes necessary. But one thing that isn't necessary is suffering because some small infraction at work has sent you over the edge. (I definitely went over the edge and back, and then back again!)

My life, and my work, compared the countless other people working through their issues, healthcare workers especially, are really struggling.  I'm struggling in part because this feels like such a time of helplessness. I feel helpless at times.  It's not a great feeling.  Perhaps it is just part of growing older...I'm not sure.

I'm taking next week off for my birthday.  I'm hoping I can go back to work with a fresh mind and a fresh start.
