Spontaneous Hiatus

Dini @ dinipandareads26 Comments

Sorry to anyone reading this absolute moan of a post, I just need to let my feelings out!

This post isn’t really book related but it’s me announcing a spontaneous hiatus for at least this week and depending on how next week goes, maybe another week, too. Work is really affecting me and I have no capacity to think of anything else right now. I’m so fucking exhausted and feeling incredibly hopeless and I hate it. I know it’s just this phase of work I’m in right now, but I feel so unsupported by the people I need the most support from even after continuously voicing my concerns.

A meme of a shocked possum at the bottom of the image, with the following text above it: Me: no problemo Narrator: But it was all problemo
That’s me. I am this possum.

Not to sound dramatic but today was a day that had me trying to hold back tears as I discussed with colleagues this annual report that I barely understand what I’m doing with anymore—completely smashing what little I understood of it to begin with.

I barely held back the tears on the long and seemingly endless journey home this evening while simultaneously trying to avoid having a full-blown panic-fueled anxiety attack.

And it finally ended with me being unable to hold back my tears when I got home and made it into the shower, all throughout dinner, and as I continued to figure out what the hell I need to do to get this thing done by the deadline next week.

I am so so so incredibly exhausted. I just want to keep crying. And I hate that it’s making every moment miserable and affecting my reading because my brain just can’t compute.

  15. I hate that you’re going through this. I’ve been in similar situations and felt your frustration and helplessness. And cried many tears. I probably would have burst out in tears right in front of my coworkers – it has happened to me more than once- so I admire your ability to hold it in until you got home. Can you get a copy of ones from years past that you can use for ideas? I’m sure you will come up with some kind of game plan. I’ll be thinking about you and sending you loads of positive vibes.

I wish there was something I could do to help you. I’m glad that you let out your frustration, and I really, truly hope that your work will finally listen to you and help you and support you. It’s difficult to stay in that kind of environment for long, and we want you to be happy and supported on all facets of life. I miss you so much, and I’m glad to see that you’ve been still blogging pretty consistently. Take this break for as long as you need.
