I can’t cope

That's so great to hear @Captain24

Changing is hard so it's so wise to start with one thing. There's no point making a whole bunch of changes that are impossible to sustain.

I think it’s lucky I’m on night shift and I’m going to bed. I’ve fallen in a heap and feeling really bad. Hopefully I wake up in a safe place

I haven’t woken up in a better place. I have made it to work though so at least I can be distracted for the night.

Hey @Captain24 What do you do for night shift? Here if you want to chat 😊

I’ve woken up really angry still. It’s probably not safe for my to drive a 300 tonne dump truck in this mood. I’ve already had too much time off though. Between the anger and depression I’ve had enough.

hey @Captain24 nice to see you!

hmm tough spot to be in.

Is anger something you feel often? Are there any strategies you've used before to help ease it?

I know for me, anger is an emotion which feels pretty uncomfortable for me. I don't often know how to deal with it. But I've been trying to treat it like any other emotion - that it comes from a real place (and usually because I think something is unfair!) and that it's trying to tell me something. Then I try to use a strategy to ease it a little bit.

What do you think?

@creative_writer 100% agree!

I just remembered I had these @Captain24, not sure if they're useful?

Thanks @Former-Member @creative_writer

Ive just gotten to work and I’m about to put my phone in my locker. No phones on site.

Im not usually and angry person but that picture makes so much sense. I’m not sure what I can do for myself here but I think if it starts to get too out of control I’ll call my boss and let him know that its not safe for me to keep driving. I’m that angry that I feel like I could hurt someone.

If I get the chance to see my nurse next week I’ll bring it up with her.

Thanks guys

@Captain24 ❤️ you're amazing. And thank you for telling us. I hope work goes ok!

And yes, the image makes sense for me too. Take care and talk soon
