Got a case of the downers today. Feeling a bit isolated, the honeymoon period of being self employed is ending and I’m starting to feel like I did when I was WFH full time during lockdowns (which is not good). I’m making the effort to fill my social battery during the week in other ways, which helps but these kinds of down days from the isolation and lack of forced structure still pop up. I saw a photo my old workplace at some event together on LinkedIn and that’s made me miss being employed (although I don’t regret leaving that hellish place for one second). Just went for a walk and while it was freezing, I already feel better.

I kind of know how you feel about the isolation part. You’re right, you have to get out and do stuff to stay sane.
