Intrusive ideation is miserable

[chanter1944]

And it’s worse when work is slower than a snail. Tips for dealing with the above subject line very much appreciated, because this is going to be one long afternoon. I’m fine, for the record, just having a horrible mental health day. See my previous entry for why.

Ow ow ow indeed. :( That stinks, and I'm sorry you're having a rough day.

I don't know if it's the healthiest thing, but I find self-distraction very useful. Is there some task that's been put off, or some item you've been wanting to learn, that will give your mind something else to chase for a bit?

*hugs offered* Thanks. Seriously.

I was looking for distractions all afternoon, all day really, but as I was stuck in an office and available for calls (few though those were), my options were limited. I did try, but nobody else had anything to do either! Split half an hour early, so there was at least that.

*hugs!* You're welcome, and I wish I could help more.

I'm glad you got to go home early.
