5 Tips To Get Stuff Done While Feeling Like Crap
It’s tough but it’s doable
I won’t lie; I’ve felt like crap lately. Until recently, i’ve been off all anti-depressant medication which has put my mood in the toilet. I’m still recovering from the really bad cold/chest infection which seems to have swept the country. Finally, I appear to have become really dehydrated and stay that way no matter how much I drink.
What I mean by this is that my mouth is painfully dry all the time and sprouting ulcers like daisies. My throat dries out after speaking for less than 20 seconds, and I end up having a coughing fit. I am unbelievably dry downstairs (TMI, I know!), making me sore, unbearably itchy, and prone to splitting skin.
Needless to say, physically, mentally and emotionally, I don’t feel up to getting much done. Sadly, there is no pause button for life when sh*t like this goes down. Although Mike helps out a lot, there are things he can’t do for me. Also, I don’t want him to have to do everything. He has anxiety problems and works full time, so that isn’t fair.
Honestly? I feel like enough of a loser as it is; I don’t need to add guilt about doing nothing to it.
So I have to have a plan — a way to guarantee I get stuff done while feeling like crap…
