Sigh

Posted by Noa on January 3, 2003, at 17:43:49

That is the kind of mood I'm in. Still depressed, although better than yesterday.

Went to work today, had an ok day there. Did spend some time talking with the other two employees who might be affected by the cut-backs. We decided to work together to get some more info about what is happening--first from a semi-supervisor who is fairly politically astute and might have some strategy ideas for us, and then from the next-up supervisor, the one who told us about the cut backs, and who is the liason with the "big" bosses who make the cut back decisions (and who seems way out of her league politically, which, we believe is part of the problem--ie, confusing messages AND possibly unable to advocate appropriately for us with the big guys).

Anyway, I felt better--that we have some mutual support going. Also, one of the co-workers thinks someone in the larger group we are in is going to retire, so one of us, if our job is cut, can move in to that position if need be. So it looks less hopeless, but still nervewracking. And all of us are feeling insecure, unsafe, etc.

My mood is still depressed, though. I guess I can't expect that to change so rapidly. At least I was distracted during my work day and could work quite functionally (this has often been true of me--once I am at work, I can be "not depressed" for a while while I am working). And at least I am not as agitated as I was. I am able to defer all that depressed thinking somewhat--ie, not draw conclusions, etc.. But the mood is still depressed.

I had that extra therapy session today, which was helpful, but it was very hard to leave when it ended.

So, "sigh" just about sums up this low mood.
