Carl, you're terrible! :lol::lol::lol:
Anyway, I've no miracle solutions and I do wish I had a magic wand for all of my geeky mates and their troubles.
Giant hugs
But, how about trying what I do.
Fake it.
Yup, sounds nuts. And I know finding the energy to do exactly that is HARD!
But, I have found that when I fake it, often times, I wind up actually feeling better.
Crazy as it sounds, when I fake it, and make myself extra jolly and try extra hard at entertaining my clients with anecdotes and jokes and whatnot... making fun of myself if I drop something or whatever and being totally silly....
In the end, I really DO end up in a much better mood.
Works for confidence boosting as well, 'faking' it'.
I think it's something about tricking the mind or whatever.
Not sure.
But it's sort of like when you're around certain people, they make you feel better because of their personality.
In this case, you make yourself better.:green:
I'm not prattling about glass half full and all that (which optimism and positivity certainly help) BUT more an illusion becoming reality?
It won't fix anything BUT it will make you feel better so that you can feel more able to cope with the tough stuff.
Did that make sense?

Sorry to hear you are having a personal crisis, please feel free to PM me for any help or support.:hug::hug::hug:
I once went through a personal crisis. It's hard to put on a brave face when you feel quite upset.
It may be good to take time out but on the same note I found work help me forget about this crisis and let me be me and do what I enjoy, providing good treatments to clients.
I would advise against opening up to clients, it's like you cross the line of professionalism somehow. I know have done it myself (foolishly) in the past but at that point in time I did need someone to talk to, and me and this lady had talked openly about our lives for many months. She was actually very good and we talked at the end of the treatment.
Looking back I wish I hadn't have worked that particular crisis week as I just felt awful.
