I’m sorry you are having a crappy day.This kind of days surely feel like the end of the world.
But remember that you did good for quiet some time so you know you are strong enough to get over this, it’s just a bad day/couple of days you are having and luckly, they pass.Cry to release some of the pressure, nothing bad in crying, it’s a normal human emotion.
Keep your head up. If you think changing the job is a good idea, do it! Anything that you think can improve your situation is worth a try.No need to keep yourself stuck in a place.
Thank you for sharing. Sorry you are having a crappy day. It is always disappointing when you are feeling better and then all of a sudden those negative feelings come rushing back. What helps is trying to not focus on those feelings. Trying to change your thoughts to something more encouraging. Sounds too that working in the same environment as your ex can be a trigger. Considering a different job may be freeing. Also remember depression is a chemical issue in the brain that can happen. Don't be hard on yourself and know you will feel good again. This is just a bad day. I have four practices I use to help me when I am having an off day. Maybe one of them you may find useful.
1). Becoming aware of what you need through self-care and personal nourishment. Take time for yourself - you are worth it. Like taking walks, baths, massages, mani/pedi/, listening to uplifting music/sermons and anything that makes you feel refreshed and renewed.
2) The 557 breathing technique is take 5 deep breaths in while thinking good thoughts about yourself like I matter, I am special, I am strong and then hold the breaths for the count of 7 focusing on those words about yourself, then let out the breath slowly for 5 seconds letting go of any anxious, self-defeating, unhealthy thoughts. I do this one to three times a sitting.
3)The gratitude journal is writing down something good every morning and night something that went well in the day, or something I appreciate about myself. Taking our focus off of the anxiety and depression and focusing on positive uplifting things really helps. What you think is what you believe. So thinking uplifting things you believe those things but the reverse is true - thinking negative self-defeating things, you will believe those.
4) Emotional Freedom Tapping -bit.ly/37isVZc Pressure points that you tap on while you repeat positive uplifting things to yourself.
I will be praying for you. Feel free to pm me if you'd like to chat. Hugs and God Bless
The progress you made is real and cannot be taken away from you. I wish recovery was linear but it’s not. It’s ok to take a step back, take a deep breath, and get back on your feet when you’re ready to. This recovery road we’re on is steep and littered with stones and tree roots. You have to take a rest sometimes.
