I have decided that i am not going to work at all in August and give myself some time to emotionally heal. I have still been feeling super anxious about my mother's death and I have been lying to myself about being further along in my grieving than I am.

I have been getting very stressed about going to work and what work is gonna be like, but seem to be fine once I get there..

Strange indeed but I am going to try to sober up a bit this month and get through this shit.

Hang in there Mr. Q. Have some "you" time and set a time frame for getting back to your routine. I wouldn't leave it open-ended. Set some attainable short term goals that you can literally check off as you go. It feels good to accomplish the smallest of things. Do things that you know your mom would love for you to do. I can't imagine what you are going through, but try to stay positive and tune out the negatives and negative people around you. Try a kickboxing class. Workouts can really help relieve the stress and get your juices flowing. Keep us updated and don't be afraid to overshare!

LOL. Thanks guys. I am heading up to the country for a week or so and am going to rent a small cottage on the water for myself for a couple days...

Gonna have a BBQ later today with my remaining family.

Glad you are getting away and able to spend some time with family today...they are really the only ones who understand. Others can conceptually understand, but only family can truly share the same grief.
 
So I deal with an agency that writes editorial content for me - they have a staff of 10-12 that routinely write articles that I edit and publish. I also have this other freelancer who's a little more flexible and has a better style for what I need, so I've been relying on her a little more than on the agency.

Anyhoo, today the agency delivers two articles that have been written by... my freelancer. :ohmy: It doesn't really qualify as poaching since she's not an employee, and it just means I get more of her stuff, but it's just odd. Plus I pay the agency the same amount I give directly to her, so she's obviously getting paid less for the articles that she routes through them.

I can't decide how I should feel about this. This is hurting my brain.

Then I think you should push your ego aside and understand her position.
