Re: Oscillation between two mind sets
I slept okay and I'm just resting up this afternoon. Assignments can really drain you, one is submitted and the other one is pretty much done, I'll have a look at it if I have time before submitting it on Friday. I have a busy week ahead, at some point you do need to move on from assignments. I was not fortunate to get a break, but it's okay, life happens. I have a big record of always getting assignment extensions, I find it very difficult to complete things on time, something that probably needs some work on.
I hope today has been better for you 💜 ❤️

Re: Oscillation between two mind sets
Thanks heaps for that @creative_writer 🤗🌺💜
glad to hear you slept ok and have had a chance to rest after submitting one of the assignments, and the other is nearly done..it’s a good feeling being on the other side of the mountain climb of big tasks, I find 🙂🌺
I hope the coming week goes well, and I do agree that there does come a time to know that the work is good enough to submit without taking time away to do more that is of lesser value than the time spent to do so 🙂
Yes, having extensions I do understand is like not getting things in on time in a way, however I also extend timeframes as much as I can because it gives me the space I need based on reduced capacity; I kind of think of it like this: I have less capacity so to provide equity, I take longer; whereas someone with breather capacity can achieve the same in a shorter time. Same result (assignment done), just achieved in different ways because the variables are different due to individual differences. Therefore there really is no ‘weak point’ that needs work with obtaining extensions when capacity is less. To not have extensions when capacity is reduced means working harder to achieve the same thing in the same timeframes as a person with greater work capacity. This applies across many areas of life, work, and society 🙂🌺
One thing I do think is that people with reduced work capacity who also live with mental health concerns have often been made to feel undeserving of any adjustments 💜 which then results in lots of additional pressure to produce results despite needing supports, extra time, or alternate task parameters 🙂
…sorry for the long tangent - I tend to ramble a bit sometimes! 😊
today has been a good day here thank you dearest, and I hope you’re doing ok this evening 💜🙂🌺

Re: Oscillation between two mind sets
I do feel lazy for always getting extensions. But my brain doesn’t always concentrate, at times, I get stuff done at the last moment because it’s hard getting started. It has caused enormous amount of stress. I’m talking about new deadlines after extension. Extensions don’t make me space out my work, I often end up still cramming. The only thing that really got me through this assignment patch was matcha, I can’t do anything without my cuppa. I felt like I had zero capacity to function. I know this is probably something that warrants further investigation. I always thought I was stupid and lazy, but now I am starting to wonder whether there is something going on here. In fact, not being able to do thing feeds into the cptsd rumination. All this time I thought I was not making enough effort in therapy, it turns out I probably had a block in my brain.
It is hard with reduced capacity. I hope the evening goes okay for you. I am having the evening slump right now, migraines love the evenings

Re: Oscillation between two mind sets
Yeah I do understand what you are saying regarding extensions @creative_writer 💜
Its not easy to remain on a schedule with cPTSD .. I can relate to not starting work adding to stress xx
How are you doing today?
I hope things have been going alright, and your evening is ok xx
