I'm shattered after the fortnight from hell.
Huge work deadlines, continuing saga of the sister's grumpy boyfriend impacting the rest of the family now and has us arguing rather than supporting each other. The exhausted me hasn't helped the situation at all and compounds all my fears and insecurities.
Big day today in getting work moved forward, presentations etc. I feel like I've been on some crazy job interview. The rational me knows I'm good at what I do. The tired emotional me feels like a fraud and is terrified of everything falling to pieces. Doubting myself and my abilities.
Even the fun stuff feels like hard work and I'm longing for the security of having an employer whilst knowing the freedom of the freelance life makes me happier.
I can't think straight or take an objective view. It all feels like it's my fault (whatever 'it' is), that I'm not good enough. The devil on my shoulder is shouting way louder than the angel can compete with.
I know it will pass. I know it will be OK. But tonight? I'm not OK. Maybe I just need to write it out of my system.
Hope you get some time to breathe soon!
ReplyDeleteI will, and had good feedback from the very senior people I needed to support my work, so I and relax a little knowing I'm heading in the right direction. Just need to put words into action now! And sort out the family stuff....
ReplyDeleteHope all's ok with you.
