I miss my old team and the routine that came with being a barista. I would rather hear the honest version than the polite one. I do not want to pretend I am fine. What helps you?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it last year, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.

Short walks helped me more than I expected. Even ten minutes changed my mood.
