Actually still not at 100% @Beo, thanks for asking.
My iron levels seem to have stabilised now and are doing okay. But I’m still losing too much of the good red stuff with the bad brown stuff, so my hemoglobin levels are dropping again. Had a second non-surgical procedure early last week to see if we can get it under control. Helped a bit, but not enough I fear, so it looks like surgery is inevitable. Couple of weeks left in the academic year to grab as many hours as I can before the holiday close and zero income hits until end-January/early-February, and then I’ll have to go get my butt cut

My mom bakes awesome things, so shop stuff doesn’t hold that much allure.

Almost 46 hours without water at the house now. Fairly big area from Marlboro Gardens through to Sunninghill affected by a burst pipe. Joburg Water being their usual non-communicative selves. Despite their “teams are on site” messages, resident near the burst says there isn’t a single person there this morning, again. Hole is still full of water and still leaking - pipe repair hasn’t happened yet.

Morning all.
Dealing with a lot of anxiety this week, on my end and my wife. Things have just been chaotic this week.
Not to mention that we have our interoffice exemplary awards today, and then this afternoon I may be required to provide a presentation to the C-suite execs who are all having a ~party~ get together up in Dubai.
P.S. I don’t know how to do strikethrough #dealwithit

Wish me luck I have an interview with a seo type company today which a friend set up for me. Don’t know of how much I would be able to do but going in for the interview in any case.
This particular company has roots in Ireland and the UK as well so there is that as well.

So I had 2x fairly serious emotional breakdowns yesterday - something completely out of my character that I didn’t know how to deal with. One just after dropping my boy off at school and one in the shower the evening, which he witnessed and traumatised him. I then sat in the Durbanville Mediclinic ER for 3 hours waiting for some help. Now I’m some short term meds that is clouding my head and making me dizzy. What a crap way to head into the festive season.

Im so sorry dude, if the meds keep making you foggy after 2 or 3 days, I would go back for something else. We are all here for you! I know the feeling all too well.
This is what I live by -
What is the 3 3 3 rule for anxiety? (this works for panic attacks as well)
Start by looking around you and naming three things you can see. Then listen. What three sounds do you hear? Next, move three parts of your body , such as your fingers, toes, or clench and release your shoulders.
What are the 5 things for a panic attack?
Right away: Look around you. Find 5 things you can see, 4 things you can touch , 3 things you can hear, 2 things you can smell, and one thing you can taste. Understanding how your body and mind work during these episodes can help you develop a healthier response to frightening situations.
These just pull you out of the situation and gives you something else to focus on till you can figure out what triggered it.
