I can’t cope

Hey @Captain24 ,

Sorry you are feeling so low about this. Please know we are here to support you. We can ride this wave together.

Hugs.

Not at all - we are still here, see? @Captain24

Let's work on some more grounding together tomorrow. 🫶

Today is a new day. I’ll see what happens. @AuntGlow @tyme. Maybe it’ll be a better day.

I’m hoping I get my sense of safety and my confidence back one day. It’ll take me a while though. I’m not trying to be difficult it’s just how I feel right now. Please know that I know it’s my own fault and not you guys. I really appreciate the support in this.

There’s a lot going on in my world and all I want to do is go back to bed and forget but alas I have to go to work. I shouldn’t be there but I need to save my sick leave.

Good afternoon @Captain24,

It's okay for safety to take time... we will still be here and we are able to sit in that space of healing with you. Big breath - it's all okay, I promise.

I can really hear how much is coming up for you, it sounds like a break (or a change?) would be really helpful.

What is one thing you have control over today, in terms of your self-care? 💛

There’s a lot coming up but I won’t share the details. I don’t want to get into trouble @AuntGlow

Do you mean a break from the forums cause I’ll go if you want me too.

I worked all day and just got home so there was no self care. I don’t even know what to do right now

Aloha @Captain24 !

Good to see you 🙂

Hey @tyme

How was your day?

I was at office for the larger part of today. Got a fair bit of planning done @Captain24 . A few reports written. That's about it.

What about you? What'd you get up to? What time did you start work?

When there is daylight savings, what's happens with your work?

Planning is good though. Do you go to the office very often? @tyme

I left here at 5:30 but start at 6:50. I like to be early. I don’t do late! I panic if I leave at 5:35!

It was a hectic day. I was flat out all day. I was barely able to stop for a toilet break!

Last year we finished at ‘normal’ time so they docked an hours pay. We work until 5:20am on nightshift with the option of finishing at 7:10. I do the late one, more money and drive home in the daylight! This year everyone has to work a 10.5 hour shift so they will leave at the new time of 6:20 and those of us that stay, if they have work for us, leave at 7:10. So if they keep me I lose an hours pay but it’s considered voluntary overtime.

I don’t know if that makes any sense? It’s easier to say it than type it

Yes, it makes sense now, but I reckon I'm going to forget. So really, you still get paid what you worked. It's just that you work an hour less so you get paid an hour less, right? @Captain24

I go into the office whenever. Sometimes I go for training days, others are catch up days... then there may be a few months I don't go at all... so there's no set days/times.

I'm taking the two older kids to the zoo tomorrow. I don't want the firecracker to go, but my sister feels sorry for her, so the little one MIGHT go. I don't want her to because she's hard work and she's got Kinder tomorrow. Also, the little one is going to the farm on Saturday anyway.

So yeah.... you're working tomorrow too, right?
