I've gone back to my past today and produced a mind-map of those things that are bothering me. I've taken out )or will do) some money from my pension and done a review of what I have to do up until December and what my financial situation is.
I can see all the problems I "think" I have laid out as headings and I now need to add to them with sub-topics and see if I can work out what to do about it all. It makes sense to me this way as it's what I used to do and take my customers through when reviewing etc.
I am not sure if it will help or at least perhaps compartmentalize the problems I perceive I have. To say things are getting to me is an understatement but, of course none of these have actually properly realised themselves as of yet and so it's like a risk management plan I suppose.
What is strange is the loss of interest in things. TV and social media but also reading. I used to be an avid reader but now not so much. The loss of interest is a little disturbing but I have kept away from the TV for 18 months or more only watching a few favourites, University Challenge, Only Connect, Formula ! and BTTC racing, rugby and the odd programme of interest to me - Reacher, Clarkson's Farm and perhaps a few other that I have forgotten. The other stuff and the "personalities" and "celebrities" things bore the life out of me - who are half of these people?
The loss of interest doesn't stop there either as I really have to make myself do things and I wonder if that's just this huge crashing down to earth that retirement delivers you when you aren't expecting it and hadn't planned for it (unlike me I know).
Here we are though. Got to make the best of a bad job I suppose?
