Time Perception

Lots of discussion of symptoms, but I'm noticing one symptom is standing out for me.

It feels like I've been at work FOREVER today. Something that happened at noon today feels like it happened a day ago... at least!

The trolley ride home is torturous anymore. When I get on the trolley, the sun is setting. By the time I'm about 1/2-way home, it's pitch-dark outside.

I've gotten so antsy and miserable that I just want to get off the trolley so badly.

Anyone else? And maybe it's just because I'm tired. Everything seems out-of-whack when I'm tired.

I'm having real concentration problems because it just feels like the day is dragging on forever.

PS - I'm not the only one in my office who is suffering, apparently. A co-worker I really respect, thought was invincible sent an email about the percentage of sunny days in different US cities. She admitted yesterday to sometimes feeling unimportant even though she's in leadership... She was so sincere. Anyhow, for anyone in the US:

(I live in Pittsburgh, PA - 45%)

Wish I could talk to my co-worker openly about SAD, though I wonder if she doesn't know because my boss may have told her. Part of me wants to believe she's being sympathetic or commissorating with me but her email was to everyone in the office.

-- if it wasn't for you guys, I'd be really alone in all this!

Piglet, I have had the worst week at work this week too.

I work for a small company that involves a lot of customer contact, and it has been a real struggle. I had bitten a few peoples heads off this week.

It feels like I have been at work for 3 weeks without a break and it's still not Friday!

Time perception and concentration have totally gone out the window for me at the moment.

Last night I was writing a birthday card for my brother-in-law and I wrote in it "to my darling" and we have never even got on with each other before!

The worst part was when I woke up this morning I found the sellotape in the fridge. Do you think I need help? :-)

LOL! dash for the door!

I managed to burn my finger the other day making spagetti - I was pushing the spagetti in the water then got it wrong and stuck my finger in instead LOL!!

What is it abour Spaghetti!

think Ill stick to pasta twirls - it must be safer.

You are all making me smile now :-)

I'm glad that I'm not the only one doing dizzy things at the moment!

When I go home I think I will remove the sellotape from the fridge, wonder where I will find it tomorrow? Maybe the oven?

Have just done the daftest thing at work, made everyone a cup of tea, but forgot to put teabags in the teapot, mmm nice cup of hot water then!

God I feel silly, but I think you have to smile at yourself and laugh about it otherwise I think it would make you feel even worse.

I get the feeling that everyone is feeling a little brighter today?

I constantly boil the kettle but forget to put it in the pot. If I actually remember then I nearly always get cold stewed tea. In fact I think I have one downstairs now.

If I do manage to make a cup, I always, always, leave half a cup - strange.

I always thought that was because I never crave for tea. Now I think I know otherwise.

Funny how I never forget the biscuits though!

Guys youve all helped brighten my day today. thanks all
