Spreadsheet Stress & Self-Care

Another day, another spreadsheet that refuses to align, as if my data set is mocking my own insistence on order. I spent an hour recalculating a patient's anxiety score to the hundredth decimal point, only to be told the client was already at 'stable', yet my nerves are still rattling like the unfinished meditation app script on my laptop. The feeling that maybe I’m just a good listener, not a healer, nags at me louder than the notification that a new patient has entered my queue. I wish I could hit pause, but the calendar keeps reminding me that deadlines are more unforgiving than the feedback I give. Still, if I can squeeze in a brief pause, maybe I’ll remember that my own well‑being is not an afterthought. 😑 #mentalhealth #overworked
