Subject: Signs of breakdown

Recently, just left a company because of seniority issues, starting to venture out due to phobia of seniority issues, mum keeps nagging and always pick on me, women from public speaking courses dislike me, smart men cannot handle me, not able to have peaceful sleep.........................

What is happening? I just feel like crying and go into hiding. I really feel that life is so difficult to manage, any advice?

Dear “Signs of breakdown”

Thank you for writing to Depnet. Yes, life can be difficult to manage at times. Yet, in one way or other we do manage to survive them & go on to better things.

It appears that you’re facing quite a number of issues. When things appear overwhelming, we may lose focus and become unsure of our ability to manage them well. We wish we could disappear for a long while & things have normalized by time we reappear. So, if you can, do take a breather, give yourself some time to regain the sense of control. Sort things out, prioritize & plan & work on handling the issues one at a time. If possible, do it with support of someone whom you trust can be objective. Remember, this too will pass & you will be able to regain your equilibrium.

Regards,

Depnet
