The Hidden Toll of Work: Battling Physical and Mental Strain

After months of grueling hours at my desk, I was feeling completely drained. Each day seemed to stretch on forever, filled with back-to-back meetings, endless emails, and tight deadlines. By the time I clocked out, all I wanted was to collapse on the couch and forget about work for a while.

But it wasn’t just my energy that was depleted—my wrists were in agony. Every time I typed, the familiar ache would creep in, turning into a throbbing pain that made it hard to focus. I tried to push through, but it felt like I was battling a losing war against my keyboard.

One evening, while complaining about my fatigue to a friend over dinner, she noticed my discomfort and immediately suggested something unexpected. “You need to try this cartoon gel pack I have! ” she said, her eyes sparkling with enthusiasm. At first, I was skeptical, but her description of the gel pack’s soothing powers was hard to ignore.

Curious and desperate for relief, I decided to give it a shot. When I finally got my hands on that colorful, cartoon-themed gel pack, I couldn’t help but smile. It was not only cute but also filled with a cooling gel that could be heated or chilled.

That night, after another exhausting day at work, I popped the gel pack in the microwave for a few seconds. As I placed it over my aching wrists, I felt an immediate wave of warmth wash over me. It was pure bliss! The heat melted away the tension in my muscles, and I finally felt a moment of healing and relaxation.

With each use, not only did my wrists start to feel better, but I also found a moment of peace amidst my hectic schedule. The cartoon design brought a lightness to my day, reminding me to take breaks and prioritize self-care.

Thanks to my friend’s recommendation, I discovered that even amid a demanding office life, it’s essential to find little moments of joy and relaxation. Now, I’m not just surviving my workdays—I’m thriving, one warm, cartoon gel pack at a time! #Joint pain #Psychological pressure

Pyjama...week? #MentalHealth #worldmentalhealthday2019

Today is the 3rd day in a row where I have been living in my pyjamas.

However, I am not counting this as a warning sign for another psychological break but instead a sign of recovery.

I have never been in the habit of changing into “normal” clothes (as normal as my clothes can be considered when you own a pair of awesome Adventure leggings ... amongst others) if no one is visiting me, and I have no where else to be.

I know that still sounds alarming but as an #Autistic with plenty of #MentalHealthProblems I don’t always want to associate with other people, so I stay at home quite comfortably with myself.

After all, I can experience enormous amounts of stress and subsequent fatigue on my own and without outside forces.

So every now and then I have a pyjama day.

I relax with my chosen Podcasts, and my cats; do a little house-keeping; have a bath; change my pyjamas; and then continue.

Admittedly, having several pyjama days in a row is unusual but I am still wrung out from an entire weekend of #SocialMasking combined with finally being on the upside of 2 months of #Insomnia and an 18 hour stint of #emotional #Psychological probing needed to file a PIP assessment form.

Frankly, my brain needs the isolation right now.
