Jammy Link ParentIm not jesting! I think it’s important to leave your sleep bed, and keep it for sleep, but if you feel comfortable working in a bed just get a work bed.Im not jesting!

I cant shake the feeling Im assumed to be a criminal: cameras everywhere including at the auto tills with one showing my face to me. Locking barriers preventing me from leaving unless I scan a receipt, pressured to part with personal info at the till (email / home address) etc

If you don’t mind Id like to suggest a few things, firstly try and purge your environment of the things from your ex, even if you just store them in the basement in a box they seem to be preventing you from moving on and are causing you distress.
Secondly, please reach out to your friends. Thats what theyre for - to support you and be supported in times of need. Im a strong believer in helping each other, which in turn strengthens friendships. Its very unusual to be able to genuinely help someone, because its so rare these days to out oneself in such a vulnerable position. But if you do seek that help then the friendship bond can often become stronger as a result. Of course use your judgement to not overwhelm / lean on people too heavily but Im sure you can gauge that :)
And the last thing is to be kind to yourself :) exercise, eat well, get some high quality sleep. Go on a trip to the woods and get some regular walks into your life, that kind of thing. I hope this hasnt been too presumptuous, good luck! X

Im quite robust with sleep deprivation, but after a while my thoughts become very negative and it takes a few high quality sleeps to get back to an even keel. Could you be experiencing something similar? A gradual lowering of your mood from exhaustion that’s now feeling like a lengthy bought of doom?

However this comment (1) from u/pushdose goes into detail, Ill paste the comment as its from reddit:
Ok, this is right up my alley. Impending doom manifests differently between individuals, but I’ve notice a few trends.
Pt is agitated/anxious and “can’t breathe” or “needs to get some air” despite therapy they will pull off masks and try to get up.
A lot of males will exhibit the need to “get up” or “gotta get out of here”, they appear distressed and are often diaphoretic. Often, they will physically fight to get off the bed and this is a bad sign.
Sometimes they will clearly state “I feel like I’m gonna die” or “Something is really wrong”, again, they usually appear distressed.
“A sinking feeling” or “feeling hot” is commonly reported in patients with bad tachycardias and brady arrhythmias, especially as they approach syncope and collapse.
All of these can be bad. Generally they LOOK sick. It’s not a specific finding, it’s a subjective thing.1: https://old.reddit.com/r/nursing/comments/85nqqc/help_to_clarify_feeling_of_impending_doom/

The explanations for laying flat / being the last generation (1) Ive read are primarily economic, but I suspect there might be another - that once all other avenues of protest have been taken from a person (as they are in China as far as I’m aware) then the final protest available to a person is to not procreate. To just die without carrying on ones line. Does that sound like something that’s happening? A kind of giving up?

Im wondering if HR got in touch because rather than receiving one serious complaint, instead they received lots of smaller complaints which added together caused them to worry.

And secondly is it perhaps normal to have a PM assigned to projects? Such that perhaps Julio being assigned to you is a good sign? An endorsement of your project being taken seriously?

That sounds incredibly hard, Im so sorry. Im sure you’ve already explored this, but do you have any family you could call on for help?
