The Mental Health thread

[AndyWolves]

This isn't related to mental health per se, but building up an emergency fund that you know you can rely on for a period of time helped me worry less about work. Knowing that if the worst happens you'll be ok (plus the achievement of getting yourself into that position) really helped me.

Isolation is challenging and combined with working from home is tough. Any kind of human interaction can help though, even popping to the shops or going out for a walk.

And be kind to yourself, sometimes getting up and out of bed is an achievement.

Ride the storm out Derbs, never feels like it will happen when you're in the middle of it, but it comes.

It sounds like it may be an impact of a feeling of a lack of control over your work related situation. The uncertainty isn't helping you.

I believe work is a means to an end in the main. It enables us to do the things we love, with the people we love.

It's phenomenally difficult to accept situations where we desire some control, but don't have it. I'm sorry to hear of how the restructure is impacting you. Your job doesn't define who you are.

You're a resilient individual, and as @AndyWolves says, alongside others, be they virtual or in real life others, you will pull through and improve.
