I cannot believe it’s been months since I last posted. Well actually I can!!
You see I have a tendency to take on too much. Are you like that too?
I see everything as an opportunity and don’t like saying no to people.
Who knew I was a people pleaser?
I get really excited about new projects and go gung ho then my energy starts to wane.
I had started doing lots of things badly. I would flit from job to job desperately trying to get everything done.
I was forgetting birthdays, not seeing friends and felt like I was sinking….fast!!
I over promised and under delivered which is not good for my self esteem nor does it look very professional
Something had to stop before I snapped!!
All this was heightened by my erratic menopausal hormones! I was still on the hormonal roller coaster
I’m SUPER SENSITIVE to stress these days.
What I’ve done is step back from the noise and chatter. Stop worrying about what others are doing and focus on me.
I now do one job at a time and make sure I finish it. This means I feel like I have accomplished something and this raises
my self-esteem.
I’m keeping it simple and just concentrating on what needs to be done today.
How do you deal with life’s ups and downs?

Hi. I’ve just stumbled upon your website and read your words… which could have been written by me…
I’m sitting here with tears streaming down my face and feeling in such a dark place…
I have suffered from anxiety and depression most of my life (mostly anxiety) but the dark moods and total lack of energy over the last few years are so overwhelming. I’m currently seeing a wonderful homeopath, and she has helped, but I keep slipping back into these awful moods. It’s such a lonely place but it helps a little to know other women are going through the same experiences and hopefully, coming through the other end.
I would like to know if you know of a blog where women write on a regular basis; as I’m sure that would help me to cope better?
Thank’s,
Ali.
Tanith firstly thanks for a great presentation at the Daisy Network conference in June.
Your post really resonates with me. I find these days that trying to do everything just doesn’t make me feel good anymore and I’m planning to make further changes to support myself through this period.
