Why?

@Tobasco Bad day at work.
Long drive, plus significant traffic, a surprise allergy attack, forced interactions I wasn't in the right frame of mind to deal with, tedious work, tons of noise and an inability to focus mixed in.
And that's just the tip of the iceberg.
I tried to keep a positive mindset, but it just couldn't last. Today was an onslaught.

@GeistInTheMachine oh sorry to hear that. Sounds like a regular day for me though.

@Tobasco That's a shame. It's exhausting.
It wouldn't affect me that badly, if I didn't have so much on my head.
I used to work night shifts and weekend shifts, and that was far worse.

@GeistInTheMachine I think I'm just good at hiding it and pretending I'm okay.

@Tobasco I can usually hide it well enough, but towards the end of the work day, it all started to get to me.

@GeistInTheMachine what do you do when you can't handle it?

@Tobasco I put up a fake front for as long as I can,and try to focus on one thing to make the time pass.
If you I let the negative thoughts take control, then I'm in trouble.
Yesterday was just especially bad. I hope that was a one-off.
