I can’t cope

At the moment I don’t enjoy anything @tyme. Even work. It’s really hard and heartbreaking as I love my job. Right now I can’t see any good in my life.

It was nice to have a distraction for a few hrs though. But I still woke up feeling so broken. I did take double prn to get to work though.

Hopefully the next 2 nights are busy as well and maybe I’ll find some relief.

Thanks for checking on me. Sorry I’m so down still though.

Hope you are well.

Hey @Captain24 I'm here for the evening. Sorry to hear that you're feeling so down at the moment - but it's not something you need to apologise for. We're glad you're here and talking about it, far preferable to the notion of you struggling with this alone. Here to walk beside you 💜

hey @Jynx. Thanks I’m just about to leave for work.

With life being hard enough right now.

Instead of just being so mentally broken and feel beyond repair and so hopeless and unable to function. I have just received the results of my chest X-ray, I have a partial lung collapse! So I’m broken inside too.

Oh wow @Captain24 that is hectic! I'm so sorry to hear it, what heavy news to have to go off to work with.

I am wondering if that might also be contributing to your current emotional state. Our bodies and minds are intricately linked - so much so that health issues can impact our moods and thoughts on a biological level as well as a cognitive level, if I recall correctly.

What is involved in treatment of a collapsed lung? I hope it isn't causing you too much pain!

@Captain24 I hope your work shift went ok last night and you can get some sleep today.

Sorry to hear about your collapsed lung. I'm not a doctor so not sure where they proceed from here but hope it is not too serious.

Just wanted to check in to see if your are ok. I hope today goes a little better for you 💕💕

I didn’t get any relief last night. It was a pretty bad shift. I didn’t sleep well today and I’m dreading tonight’s shift. I

just have to focus on the fact that it’s the last one. I really need this mood to shift. I still feel so broken and I feel like I’m breaking even more. I don’t think I can take much more.

Dr Google said it’s only a partial collapse

@Snowie. I’m going to the medical centre at 8:30 to see if I can get into my GP. Otherwise I have to wait about 4 weeks if I’m lucky.

Im sorry things are pretty bad for you @Snowie

I hope tonights shift goes a little better for you @Captain24

Hopefully you can get into seeing your gp. They are so hard to get into, especially the good ones.

Please keep talking on here hon, you deserve the help 💙💙

sitting with you @Captain24

@Snowie , @tyme
