Trying to put a brave face on, and things definitely could be worse, but feeling pretty exhausted and overwhelmed. Very hard to be excited right now.

Moved to the other side of the country and about to move job. Still finding it difficult. Have to believe the end is in sight though.

How about you?

It used to be you’d take work home. That was bad enough. Now your work is home. So you never leave it. I dream of normality.

Working on my exit strategy as we speak.

Comforting others:
When someone tells me bad news regarding their health, I say everything I am supposed to say (I’m sorry to hear that, I’m here for you, etc) EXCEPT “everything is going to be ok”. Because I can’t guarantee that and I really don’t know if everything is going to be ok. I was taken aback recently when a friend told me I am calloused and cold-hearted for not being able to say those words. Is she right? Should I start saying this for the purposes of providing comfort only??
