Bad day

Bad day

Hey forumites. Just posting this here whoever is around, was up at 3am this morning and couldn't get back to sleep. Was in a panic and went to ED

Guy I spoke to there was helpful.

I think I'm going to be okay. It's just that this job has been quite different to anything I have done before. It's been a hell of an adjustment.

I ended up being called again by one of the nurses who i spoke to about 5 years ago when i first went to this hospital too.

It helped. he is pretty switched on

My partner was worried too (so that is nice).

In the end i have supports around me. I think i also need to be more honest about things with my psychologist. I sent him a long text to book in an appt. Next available was Tues next week but i will also be looking at a property to stay in. Will see how it goes.

Re: Bad day

Yes.... every new adventure is a learning curve. Just like your new job, mine is new for me too! Thanks for being so open 😊

I have a close family member with anxiety and depression. It is an everchanging space for her. She never knows what might trigger her anxiety and sometimes she cannot pinpoint a trigger but just gets the rush and then the low. I know everyone's experience is different but it is all tricky and sometimes intense!!

@MDT Have you discovered rooibos tea yet? It's a black tea, originating from Africa, without caffeine. I've tried a flavoured one and plain and both are tasty. Rooibos tea has been my life saver as I love a cuppa, of tea or coffee, but like you I need to limit caffeine

Re: Bad day

The unflavoured black rooibos teabags I bought from my local woolworths. I haven't seen the flavoured variety in the shops yet as my first pkt was a gift from family. My woolies one is a white box with red writing.

Re: Bad day

Thanks! I'll have a look tomorrow @Patchworks - sounds great! Perhaps you use these teabags and add your own flavour?
