I can’t cope

The reason I was stood down @hanami is due to my MH. I had a breakdown on my last shift and went home an hr early. Now I need a fit for work certificate! HR rang me in my day off to tell me. She wanted the certificate from the psychiatrist but I said no I don’t see her for a few weeks. Then she decided my GP was ok. I just have to wait and see what happens. I ran into my GP while I was at the hospital today and she promised me that she would get it sorted. Here’s hoping

I’m glad you had a nice one. My Christmas was quite good actually. No dramas but I did plan into my day a couple of hrs of me time!

I never know what day it is! My roster makes it difficult. I struggle the most with nights. I go to work one day and finish in a new day. When I go to bed it’s one day but when I wake up it’s the same day! That sounds confusing? Well that’s nightshift!! 😂

Im hoping I can keep to the structure as my head isn’t really in a good place.

Oh yikes, I'm sorry to hear that happened at work. It does sound like you have a really supportive MH team who will totally help you through this.

I don't know how I'd cope with nightshift to be honest. I think I'd really struggle as I'm not a great sleeper and really need my routine. I take my hat off to anyone who sticks at night shift that's for sure.

Me time at xmas time sounds just perfect!

I actually get more sleep on nightshift than I do day shift. I’m so tired that I go to bed pretty much as soon as I get home @hanami. Day shift I’ll watch some tv or something. Meds is the hardest thing to juggle though.

Ah right...yeah that makes sense. I can imagine you're just stuffed after a night shift but on a day shift there is other stuff to do like watch tv etc. But the meds would be hard to work out for sure. I totally get that. I struggled re-scheduling meds twice a year when it goes from daylight saving and then back again!

Hahaha. Twice a year @hanami. For me it’s every couple of days. I guess that’s another bonus of being stood down! No nightshift adjustments

It’s really only 2 meds that I have to juggle. The rest don’t affect sleep. I’ve got one that puts you to sleep. So that’s not helpful on nightshift. The. The other keeps me awake so that’s not helpful either.

I’ve completed my list for the day. Now I’m sitting on the lounge. My thoughts have gone back to my job.

I should be at work right now for night shift. I know I should be glad to not have to do it. It’s just the reason that I’m not there that’s the problem.

Thoughts are just running around my head. I’m not making any sense at all. That is how I’m feeling.

Well done on completing your list for the day @Captain24 You should be proud of yourself.

I hope you have been able to keep busy this afternoon

Thanks @Snowie. I am pretty impressed. It’s now that it’s playing on my mind. I think I’ll have an early night!

How are you?

An early night sounds like a good idea @Captain24

I hope you are able to get some sleep tonight.

Hey @Paperdaisy

How was your Christmas and break?
