You’ve finally finished work after the day from hell. What’s your evening like?

Wine, chocolate, doomscrolling - something to get your mind off the chaos

Snapping at anyone who gets in your way (and then feeling guilty about it)

Texting your best friend about how it’s time to jack it all in - maybe Morrisons is hiring

You find a magic pixie in the woods and they gift you a day off, all paid for, no consequences. Which sounds most appealing to you?

Is a light recreational coma an option?! You just want to crawl into bed and sleep!

Friends day with your people! When even was the last time you hung out with a friend?!

Ha! Yeah right, what does this pixie want from you in exchange? What’s the trap???

Tell me about your email inbox…

The thought of seeing all the unread emails when you open it makes you feel a little sick.

You’ve read most of the important stuff (but are procrastinating over some that you just don’t know how to reply to

You’re avoiding opening emails from those clients, because you’re convinced you pissed them off last week and you’re obviously about to get fired!

Someone from your circle sends you a text that starts “I need a massive favour…” I’m talking the kind of thing that takes time, effort and organisation. Do you…

Read the summary but leave the message unopened. You’ll get to it when you’ve got the brainspace (so… never??)

Shoot back an “of course, what’s up?” (then wonder when you’ll do it because your diary is already full of six other “favours” and a light layer of unpaid work)

Swear a little bit in your head! Why are you everyone’s go to when no one has helped you out in approximately six billion years?!?

When you think about the future, what do you imagine?

The future?? Like, tomorrow will probably be stressful, but beyond that, not a clue!

A long hard slog to get my shit together. I dream of finding my people and feeling supported, but right now I don’t know where they hang out?

A lottery win please! We can quit our jobs, live in our dream house and never have to work again!

Which of these sounds most like what’s happening inside your head right now?

Static, confusion and glitches. It used to be a to-do list, but somewhere around task 52 it all just became NOISE.

Comparisons and imposter feelings. You know you’re behind where you should be, and you can see that other people are doing it so much better than you.

That bastard of an inner critic is at it again. “I’m too stupid, too lazy, too fat, too ugly, too bad to ever succeed! Might as well accept that I’m going to die under a bridge now!”

How would you sum up your current vibe?

Some kind of permanently exhausted pigeon.

Mostly running on sarcasm and spite.

Looking round for an adultier adult to tell you how to fix everything.
