Coming back from an awful week as an NQ
I’ve had an awful week personally (long story short - my girlfriend dumped me, my sister got diagnosed with cancer and I got diagnosed with depression again) and I’ve done very little at work. My time recording has slipped, I’ve procrastinated work time and time again and I’ve not engaged with any of my colleagues. Ive made silly mistakes, luckily nothing catastrophic. I’ve cried every 2 minutes and I feel utterly exhausted. I haven’t missed any major deadlines, but I’ve clearly not met expectations as I’m on some huge matters.
As I’m coming up to the end of the week, I’m worried I’ve messed everything up when I was actually doing quite well - I just massively got in my own head and started comparing myself to everyone and convinced myself it wasn’t worth the effort.
Has anyone come back from a period like this? And how?
