Reply to comment by varungupta3009 in [Image] One day at the time my friends 🌞 by mantasmark

Comparing the days to 7 months ago, then yes it has been a while. But has each day the past 7 months been progressively worse than the previous? If so, I apologize as that must be rough.

But if today is a 0 on a scale of 0-10 and tomorrow is a .1 , it will be a better day than today if only slightly.

I hope your road to better days has some big leaps forward but if it’s a longer path of incrementally better days, just know it eventually will get from ‘better than yesterday’ to a good day(s).

Since 7 months ago, each day has been progressively bad. With a dip in September-November, where I've cried silently almost every day. >!It's been a mix of terrible social anxiety, imposter syndrome, feeling completely lonely and left out all the time, and the worst of all: developing feelings for a close work friend (whom I just cannot get out of my mind), all of which has been haunting me throughout the day because I think and overthink about it, and there is no one I can share with.!< As a very shy introvert coming out of the lockdown into RTO, this has all taken me by surprise, and I've never felt worse.

Work is the only thing currently keeping me sane, honestly. And I'm working over 16 hours a day just to distract me from my own mind. My life is blessed and I'm not suffering in life otherwise, so I have hope that this too shall pass. I just need the courage to make it through this.

Thank you so much for listening, and for the motivation.
