I have friend who ask me, “What does it mean when you say you\u2019re sick?”<\/p>\n
Here’s an example of what I mean: I took on a great job writing an article for healthlyplace.com where I wrote the main mood disorder articles for the site around two years ago.<\/p>\n
It is a very realistic assigment for me and is well compensated. I have all of the skills to do it and a great reference in my coauthor Dr. John Preston. I also have plenty of time to write the article. And yet, I started to get ill the day I started the project.<\/p>\n
How do I know this is illness? Here is what happened.<\/p>\n
1. Overwhelmed and consumed with jealousy when I saw strangers at a coffee shop who looked cooler and happier than I am.
\n2. I feel like my life is missing something that others have and that I want and need more to life. My brain tells me that I live a small life and spend too much time alone.
\n3. I wake up too early and have trouble getting back to sleep.
\n4. If I go out at night to someplace stimulating, I will hear conversations and music in my head all night and the next day.
\nI get waves of anxiety.<\/p>\n
Bla. I could go on here!<\/p>\n
And how do I know it\u2019s the pressure of the article? I haven’t gone through this in a while and it started the day of the job. It’s so frustrating. But the article got done- the final draft goes in tonight. Unfair, ridiculous, awful and UNFAIR! But as my editor at BP Magazine told me, “Get over it Julie and just keep writing.”<\/p>\n
And that is what I did. I bet the symptoms calm down tomorrow.<\/p>\n
\u00a0Nothing will ever stop me from getting my work done- The timing may change, but the project will always get done!
