Well, today I'm a shattered egg. A fragile soft-boiled egg, cracked.

I've considered having something on file with my HR office, but my pdoc says that I should basically save it for when something bad happens, like they warn me or start hassling me because of sick time taken... like today, ugh! Luckily I've never had anyone at work hassle me about why I take so much sick time and thankfully I have the time to take. I even had the main boss admit to me that he has chronic depression and has taken meds, and he's the one who suggested I try meditation, which I did and I'm grateful, but nothing helps on days like today.

I agree about the regulated schedule. I worked for 1 week in a different position and it was one of the worst nightmares. I was switched from 8:30-4:30 M-F, to 10-6, sometimes 9-5, and sometimes Saturdays, it just felt like my life was thrown into chaos. I had one of my first panic attacks and quickly a major agoraphobic episode emerged.

I don't know what the hell happened today though, or how it happens, or why, but last night I was in a pretty good mood, I did my taxes, meditated for a while, and got in bed to watch TV around 9:30. Then the next thing I know it's 8:05 a.m. (my bus comes at 8:00) so I called in sick and went back to bed and slept until after noon! Ugh. I just made myself shower and get dressed and went to Taco Bell. Now I'm just sitting here drinking coffee wishing there was some sunlight. It's so foggy I can't even see out my windows.
