Hello Katy,
Oh lass... I'm so sorry the meeting left you feeling so bad... I'm here if you want to chat...
Build yourself a pillow fort & retreat there with a cuppa & your furs for the rest of today & if it feels right spend the night there... whatever will help you settle your frayed nerves...
Sending you a big comforting hug
Paws

Hi Katy
Was this the meeting or at prac? Is the big meeting with something like an academic standards committee or your department head? Sorry I'm just not clear.
Whatever, it's clearly overwhelming you at the moment.
Take some time out for you. Pamper yourself, stay in bed or take Stormy to the beach, whatever. You need to recover a bit before you do or think about anything else.
We're all here if/when you want to talk about it.
You will get through this.
Hugs from me and little Sam 🐥🐳🐚🐕🧚♂️🍧🍰🏖️🎠🌄🌉🛶

So i think we need to do some exercises together... I am sitting here staring at my work trying to get it done before another big meeting on monday. So katy, we're in the same boat, that's in the sky, that's on fire, and we're expected to learn how to row the boat, using teaspoons and a lamp. 🙂
At the moment, we're both focusing on the supervision part of it. But i didnt get into the job (academia) with the intention of having great times in supervisory meetings... its the work i do. I want to do the work that i do. Both of us were hired ased on our skills, experience, and something that our supervisor saw in us that they liked. So for today, JUST TODAY (because I cant look too far into the future without freaking out), we focus on why we're doing these jobs. The people we help. And the way to help people is do our job. When we get stuck we ask for assistance. Then we learn. Then we do it a bit better the next day.
So today, I am going to write my results section. I will stop to put some things together for the house because we just moved and the boxed up furniture is annoying me. Then I will enjoy some of the weather and think about what I would like to achieve in this role. Because i really do want to achieve lots, i just dont give myself any credit. like none. But like i said, someone saw potential and skill. So i need to learn to see it as well.
I will keep this thread open all day. So feel free to reply and we'll make it through.
J xo

Hey Jack,
That's great that you were able to acknowledge how you were feeling and that you found a way to overcome it differently. I'm glad that you are finding posts quite useful and that they helped you to gain that motivation to start your day on a better note. I believe setting the tone at the start of the day can affect how productive you are during the day. I personally like to go for a walk or exercise in the morning which allows me to feel more positive throughout the day and helps me accomplish more tasks. I agree with you that maybe practicing some small beneficial habits everyday can eventually lead you to affecting bigger parts of your life.

Hi everyone
JackFrost lovely to see your posts here. Sorry to have not responded. I’m down with a migraine (not surprised after all the stress). But I’m glad to see you’re finding it helpful to be here.
I’ll pop back when my head’s better x
