  1. Be a stability anchor.
    When people bring you a red, ask them what they are doing about it. Leaders don’t react with anger, they react with curiosity.

  2. Be an insight engine. Tell your team you need to fish for information.

  3. You’ve got to evidence and surface the value of what you’ve delivered to keep people on board.

  4. Been working hard on the new consultancy today. Am feeling a touch . The energy level is a little uncomfortable and I’m pretty sure the barman failed to give me a decaf latte which really isn’t helping. I can feel the excess energy in my chest. I can’t do anything quickly enough. I need to calm the fuck down but stay productive. I need more time in the outdoors away from my laptop.

  5. Had a level 2 survey done on a house we’re probably going to buy. In a nutshell, this £500 67 page report says ‘There could be a lot of problems with this property. We are not qualified and/or didn’t have the time to be sure so we suggest you employ an army of property maintenance people to confirm the true extent of any issues that may or may not in fact exist’.
    Thanks for that.

  6. I find out if I’ve survived the tomorrow but I think I already know. Me and my rival have been booked into ‘update’ appointments tomorrow and a quick diary snoop reveals that mine follows hers. You don’t generally tell the loser first, in case the winner declines the offer. Oh. Dear.

  7. 3/ That discussion was enough to send C into a panic and downward spiral again, and yesterday we went into again because C felt . I think that’s the third time we’ve been in for that reason. The observations were all good and so while I’m reassured, C is still on edge. About 14 weeks in, C reluctantly decided to start on 40mg of / to get her out of her crisis. She’s now thinking about upping it, but worries about the impact on baby.

  8. Can’t get enough of when I’m . Got a feeling it exacerbates the problem though 😅

  9. I’ve been a little lately. All the classic symptoms - craving social contact, massive hypersexuality, waking up early. Think it might be draining away today 🤞

  10. Def in a state - over talkative, craving social media attention from you (YES YOU), impatient, unable to concentrate / mind flitting from one shiny thing to the next, creative, hyper productive, sweary, kinky, eager, not sleeping, reduced appetite, want a promotion at work, looking forward to meetings, wanting to socialise, unwavering self confidence, won’t suffer fools 😅. Good ol’ , it has its ups and downs.

  11. Can’t decide whether I’m getting old or just stable again after a episode, but my has crashed 😬

  12. We did a workshop today! We played back a bunch of customer journeys and findings, identified pain points and opportunities and agreed next steps for the project:
    i) migrate our customer to a reliable platform and redesign it to better meet (some hardcore coming up), and
    ii) develop our growth and marketing plan.
    Some disagreement among senior managers which is pretty standard but tedious 😅

  13. Goddammit I’m so right now. My mood is on a hair trigger. I’m calm one minute, then I see a tweet from an old ‘friend’ claiming ‘ is a bit poop’ and I want to rip his head off. I hope this will pass after a good night’s sleep.

  14. Been the last few weeks. Can’t afford to see my psychiatrist so have taken it upon myself to reduce my sertraline by 25mg a day to 75mg. Fingers crossed.

  15. I’ve emerged from a mini episode and entered into the inevitable crash. I’ve just slept 4pm to 8pm and will likely sleep through the night too. Hoping stable times will resume tomorrow 🤞

  16. So right now…. Blasting out toots and tweets all over the place. Looking for arguments 😅.

  17. A touch today - full of ideas and excitement and an overwhelming desire to toot, tweet and connect with people. Also a serious lack of focus.

  18. Lack of sleep and beautiful blue skies got me a touch yesterday. Gently told myself to calm the f*ck down.

  19. I’ve entered a phase: reduced appetite; difficulty getting to and early waking; hyperproductive; ; increased exercise; no anxiety; talkative, craving social contact; suddenly interested in everything; actually feeling confident and interested in my job; relentless posting and checking of social media; - everything in the house in its right place 😬
    Figures, as the daylight hours and levels of sunlight are ramping up.

  20. I once invited the neighbours over while I was . The conversation quickly turned political and I shot the poor woman down. The relationship was somewhat less cordial thereafter. 😬

  21. Read @[email protected] blog about & it reminded me of times I’ve kicked off crazy ambitious projects while before crashing into and failing to follow through. I once applied for a director level job & reached the final stage before crashing, and had an intensely awkward time in front of a hall full of people when I could barely string a sentence together
