The darkest feelings hit on Monday afternoons
When work is lacking and the thoughts
Of uselessness are biting at my heels.
I curb the hate by eating crisps in favourite flavours
Untill the salty dust can cover all my clothes.
Watching Ellen in the afternoon when really I should be
At a job that vanished in an angry heartfelt beat,
Has brought back niggling doubts about my worth.
I’d love to be as thrilled with life
As crazy audience members always seem to be
And try to suck up any joy that’s left behind
In the hope that I can fight my way
Back out this funk I’m swimming in.

I’m just so looking forward to the beginning of term so that I feel like I’m doing something!!!

I’ve been there before – I know people say it but enjoy this time as much as you can because it will soon be over and you’ll be crazy busy and wish you hadn’t spent this rare moment of hush beating yourself up ❤️ be kinder to yourself , you’ve had major changes in what aren’t normal circumstances so give yourself a break – you deserve it !

I agree that this time is kind of like a reset for so many of us.
