I did see two pts tho and honestly, this job allows for a lot more moments of job satisfaction than the wards…when you can sit w someone for an 1hr+ and give them space to talk and then they leave feeling better? A vv lovely feeling 🥹
Had another quiet week at work on duty! There’s a joke that I should be on it all the time bc there were days this week I had no referrals and no duty calls 😅

The only reason I have made it to reformer pilates is bc there’s a 24hr cancellation policy and £15 a time is too much to just throw away

I LITERALLY tell my pts every week depression puts a negative filter on things, but I can’t rationalise my own thoughts??? Today my Sad brain interpreted ‘your skin is looking really lovely and clear’ as a negative bc if it’s lovely now, it must’ve previously not been 🤪

I wish I didn’t have to do basic self care or eat or exercise or do anything actually, and could just sit on the sofa/lie in bed and read or nap. But I am glad I managed to go to the gym, shower and have some yoghurt and fruit anyway and can now lie on the sofa doing exactly that

Idk how my garmin reckons I was in ‘deep sleep’ at the same time I was in and out of the bathroom, tossing and turning, checking the time every half hour, panicking about everything I have do at work today and actively listening to the radio, but ok 🤷🏼♀️

Did a vvv slow 3k run bc my physio said to work on base and not to focus on pace until the new year to avoid injury again. I hate how much fitness I’ve lost/how ~slow I am again, but I ran the whole 3k without stopping so that feels like a big achievement

I have to do messages this morning, and it feels like biggest effort in the world. Hope it’s bc I’m tired and I’ll perk up, and not bc I’m sad
