You clearly have extremely high standards and take your work responsibilities seriously, which is laudable, but I think there are times when you need to stand back, nurture yourself and not be so hard on yourself. You have such a lot going on at the moment - I do feel for you. As others have said, this time will pass. In the meantime, make sure you look after yourself. xxLITTLE BROWN DOGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09752176955139690523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4028290314714419963.post-61684279211465261452008-06-21T01:23:00.000+01:002008-06-21T01:23:00.000+01:00Hello to you, Elizabeth, on Friday evening.Lots of...Hello to you, Elizabeth, on Friday evening.<BR/><BR/>Lots of wise folks have alread left you very good words.<BR/><BR/>I just wish that you and I did live closer together.

Working late at night (in case the other four clients rang me in the morning)had me suffering panic attacks and I had to stop work for a couple of months. Was sent to a physiologist who came to the conclusion I could not way the word "no". As soon as I learnt that magic word I settled down to a slower pace.

Working from home is totally different from working with lots of people, rushing around etc. There is far less "evidence" that you're getting anything accomplished, everything has to be done without face to face contact, and you have to be very disciplined not to get up and faff about.<BR/>But see this as an opportunity to test the waters. If you can get yourself into a bit of a schedule, perhaps you will adapt, or perhaps you will come to the decision that working alone isn't for you.Expat mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17798190669591053390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4028290314714419963.post-14629784812196005072008-06-20T14:53:00.000+01:002008-06-20T14:53:00.000+01:00I know that feeling oh, so well.

It's so easy to keep on going when you are in the thick of things; you are at home and the pace has slowed allowing you to recognise that you are exhausted and no wonder. Too much going on and the disappointment of not feeling solace in your beloved home just compounds it. as I said before, do whatever feels right whenever you can and REST however you can xxPipanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04048984447721169350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4028290314714419963.post-34106181469745948302008-06-20T13:24:00.000+01:002008-06-20T13:24:00.000+01:00Oh I can so remember feeling just the way you do a...Oh I can so remember feeling just the way you do and trust me it does pass.

Sometimes we are so busy being busy that our psyches just baulk and brake and make us confront the darkness. But it's hard. I love (and loathe) those lines from Yeats - they have stalked me all my life. <BR/>I guess life is saying, either race back and hurl yourself into busyness or take the tough road and find out what your soul wants and what your mind fears so much.
