Even getting through the day is a big accomplishment.

More than a third of tech professionals (36%) have seen their mental health deteriorate as a result of the crisis, according to a May survey by tech recruiters Harvey Nash. For over a third of those actively concerned about their mental health, it is the first time in their lives that they have experienced that worry. The two key reasons cited by respondents were having no time to personally switch off (46%), and the worry of losing their job or contract during the pandemic (41%).

The urge to continue working

Years of study and freelance work have gotten me into the terrible habit of wanting to give myself something to think about work wise overnight. It’s kind of remarkable that the mechanism of a switch to start working is there but to live a settled and healthy life it’s kinda in the wrong place. On my way in to work feels like a better time to start thinking about the work. 

I’m an emotional perfectionist because I’ve suffered real bad with burnout and not known where to turn for it, also I’ve not known how to maintain a friendship group for many years.

I’m going to snuggle up in bed and switch my phone off!

Bye for now, folks!
