Omg i was feeling as described by Simon in the last few months. I did think I was going through something but i wasn't sure. I'm having some of it now but lesser. i'm usually pretty productive and discipline but the last few months have been tough. i was questioning why am i doing this; hard to sleep at night; then not wanting to get out of bed (i'm usually up at 530am for my morning walk) - i ditched all that. Thank you. Now I understand I may be going through what Simon described.
I can completely relate having to make decisions to lay off staff members. It was a very emotional time amidst other changes happening at work. The hardest part is having to be strong for your team because they are looking to you for strength and comfort. I was not ok.
I had a really toxic boss once who was a chronic "oversharer" at work. What made this toxic was that it was OK for her to dump her shit on everyone there and make everyone else miserable, but we were never allowed to speak up about it. In fact, I dare say we were villainised for it. It was an incredibly stressful and paradoxical workplace where most people felt like they were being "owned" by the boss and treated like an object. It's only a small wonder that place lost most of their staff during COVID, they just did not care. Now they're celebrating because they don't have to pay people anymore, but for me it really underlined how some bosses really just aren't meant to have employees.
So True !! depression creeps up on you and you don`t even notice it.... And it let you behave exactly opposite of what you need to recover. I was nearly to the point of no return , but am learning to live with it every day.... its almost like an addiction, always in the back of your mind,, when will the demons return .
Thanks for posting this one - we're years past the start of COVID and I've both felt depression and worked through it with my team numerous times. Before watching this, didn't think it was okay to not be okay line that. Thanks again for continuing the inspiration!
Thank you! I got hit with some personal issues and I don’t like to put it on my team just as I wouldn’t do it to my family. Vulnerability is hard when everyone is depending on you.
A very important hint - to help your people you need to notice they need help - and that performance is not an indicator for it can be a coping strategy… 🙏
I'm not so sure I'd agree with the depression thing. As I haven't experienced it at all. I've seen others struggle, sure. Maybe my grandmother who passed away in 2016 has been and still is such a strong anchor, that I'll survive this. As a civilian she survived Market Garden and an attack by an allied aircraft who accidentally misidentified a convoy of refugees for a German military convoy. To name only a few of the limited things we know of. She is and was the most optimistic person in my life to date. When I was out of a job for 1,5 years and was about to give up, I still remember her remark: "Son, It'll work out in the end" Followed by, with a smile and a twinkle in her eye: "But it sure does take a long time doesn't it?" Maybe the perspective what she went through when she was in her 20's was so powerful, that from my point of view I'll adapt, I'll survive and I'll thrive. Because compared what she experienced and COVID-19, COVID-19 is easy. Compared to what she experienced I don't have the right (sounds so stern ;-) ) to pity myself. But what I also experience to this day, that in these times I can be a shoulder for people to cry on, to vent, to carry them. And say: "I don't know when, how or why. I only know we will survive this and rebuild and be stronger and better for it." I've seen my co-workers struggle with not being able to hug, touch, shake hands and yet I feel as if I can carry them now, because they don't know how at the moment. I can't tell you how I do this, I just do. Will I get into this depression at some point? I don't know. When it happens, it will happen and I will deal with it then. If it doesn't happen, was it because my grandmother's personality, attitude towards life and love for other people? Maybe. 🙂
We are all born with different temperaments and personalities too. I grew up hearing "this too shall pass" and I always keep that in the back of my mind. There is difference between feeling sad and clinical depression. We all feel sad sometimes, but those with clinical depression cannot pull themselves out of the funk.
When you work in health care and share this side of yourself, sadly, it will become gossip. Nope! Our supervisors and managers are non-existent these days anyway.
I understand what you’re getting at, but don’t you think the ideal person that you would want to lead, is someone who has already faced their demons and is 100%, without a doubt, absolutely in control? Imagine knowing for a fact exactly what to do in order to take over the world, without fail. That person sounds like a monster, not a human. And honestly, I would get on my hands and knees for someone unwavering and certain as that. I’m trying to do it myself, and no sh*y it’s easier said than done. However, I KNOW that it’s possible to become sensitive, but *unreactive* at the same time.
I think us Americans need to be very humble about our ability to be helpful in that situation. I assume Civic-minded Iranians still have the memory of the 1953 coup in their minds as well as more recent attacks on Iran. Civic-minded Americans have our own wounds and fears. I think Indonesia and Spain, Brazil, or Japan should step up here.
Oh I've been releasing my rage that no virus has ever been isolated/purified, ever, so what is the shot for? Trauma is actually remembering the real. The real is raw. It has no delusion, that's what we are, no delusion, just real. It's so scary to our ego that it terrifies it. Beyond the ego is the real ego free reality. Energy has to move, emotions are energy in motion. Let them go and trust in your own ability to discern your own way. Be kind ;)

You're right, Investing in crypto currency now is the best thing to do especially with the current rise in the market.
Nah that ain't always the case. One could be born rich, or actually work smart and understanding money and how to make it.
When it comes to investing, we want our money to grow with the highest rates of return, and the lowest risk possible. While there are no shortcuts to getting rich, but there are smart ways to go about it.
Cypto is risky as many would say but I think the actual risk in it the fear of not Investing.
Grabbing multi - figures in cypto is possible with the right approach.

Never let one failure from the past hold you back in the future...
I am very happy for you, that you have such a trusting team!

Same here. We have too much to do and we aren't getting paid to dump on our coworkers.
So true Simon thank you for sharing
Thanks really needed this one
You never cry alone
Jeez who is this guy. I like this guy

That's exactly where I am at in my professional life right now.
Great Video!!!
Having worked in federal contracting world I fear this crisis point has not hit home for a lot of the leadership.

I'm not sure it matters... the staff would probably just hear that you're not at 100% now. Why will they care?

What do you think about the movement of young generation in Iran ?
