Staying

I seem to have a problem with work, and staying there thru the day. Sometimes I leave physically and other times when I can't I leave mentally and only do the basic stuff. This is because I can come back at night and finish up jobs. I live across the street from work. Anyway, how do I do this, how do I get myself to "stay"

I know what you mean. I have sort of the same problem. But for me I don't remember what I did and it can cause problems. I found that I do better with noone around. I don't know if its an option for you. I wish I had some good advice. Maybe someone does. -Dude
 
Everyday, whether you are an SA survivor or not, you need to get up, do the three S's, go to work, eat, sleep, clean, and go about daily life. The how is a personal thing, everybody has their own way of mucking through it. Some by duty to career or family, some by sheer determination, there are so many different ways. Find your ways. No matter what, keep at it.
 
Work is tough, especially on days when my emotional stuff is churning. There are days when I zone out for hours. For me, I'm usually avoiding a task that's especially taxing on my emotions. If I can make myself do that one horrible task, I can get going again. I also turn on some music to ground myself in the here and now, allow myself an extra break to bring myself back to reality--whatever it takes. When my job was especially stressful and overwhelming, I talked to my supervisor and told her about my situation, that I could not physically handle the amount of stress being placed upon me. She made some changes to my workload and allowed me to telecommute a couple of times a month. Then she forgot about it and my workload went right back up where it was. But at least she knows. And I felt a little better making my difficulties known.

I don't know if any of that relates to your situation or if it helps. Modesty is recognizing our limitations. That's my motto.
