Do I have to stay where I am?
Yesterday I went to Pilates class at my gym. While everyone was getting ready (I mean we were getting mats and removing our shoes) the trainer made a conversation about it and then turned to me and asked ‘is that your mat?’ It made me feel really strange – as if she was telling me…

Message in quarantine
1. I finished my 3 days of work yesterday. I worked 25h on the weekend and 6h on Monday morning, so it was quite a lot, but I coped ok. Nursing homes are always busy, although to be quite honest I need to admit that by being an agency staff I am often given easier…

Mutual respect grant
1. Confucius was Chinese. Did you know about that? I didn’t. Obviously his real name wasn’t Confucius, it was Kong Fuzi. I am mildly interested in philosophy but I thought he was European. Some philosophy concepts are unfortunately too abstract for me to understand. I just read Wikipedia page about Confucius and I don’t quite…

Can anxiety cause fatigue?
I have this problem with fatigue since after my first psychotic episode. At first I didn’t feel tired every day, only after having panic attack. And the panic attacks were caused, at first, by emails from employment tribunal, but after a while I had them every evening. I remember one day, a day after experiencing…

My love of the gym came back
Bringing my own music to the gym (and what I mean here is headphones and Spotify) was the trick I needed! Again, why didn’t I come up with that before? I often find myself in situations that I do something that works for me and I wonder why I didn’t try that before. It seems…

Gym
I went to the gym the first time in a few weeks. I certainly haven’t been since my mum died, but I also didn’t go for at least a few days before that. So roughly 2 months. I wasn’t planning to do a lot today, it’s always better to start small, but after 30 minutes…

I feel numbed
I had my visit to the dentist and I was numbed, so I feel numbed. It’s a very smart sentence, isn’t it? I think I should feel lucky as the infection cleared off in both of teeth that I was worried about. I didn’t know that is possible, I thought one day I’ll just wake…

What is the hardest job in the western world?
I just came back after a 12h shift in a nursing home. I never worked in a nursing home and I imagined it a bit differently. For those of you who are not familiar with the term, nursing home is a care home for people who are pretty much bed bound, while people who need…

I feel exhausted (my body image)
I wonder how this is actually possible? After all that sleep I had yesterday? I think I also had a nap after lunch today but I’m not sure. I mean, I don’t remember what I was doing between 2 and 3.30 pm. I did some shopping in Lidl so at least I have food for…
