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.

I don't usually let myself go to T2 for fear of irrational overspending haha. The flavours that worked with the rooibos tea were vanilla, caramel and cinnamon. If anyone finds the flavoured packets for sale, please share with me where! 🙂

Re: Bad day

So true @Patchworks @Shaz51 - T2 is so expensive... but then again, I tell myself I deserve a treat (sometimes) 🙂

Actually, thinking about it, if I go and purchase a coffee each day - or even a few a week, it already makes up the price of tea.

Maybe I'm just trying to ease my conscience?

Hi @amber22

I had high levels of distress yesterday. It must have worn me out as I was asleep very early. Thanks for checking in.

I did speak with a mh support person yesterday who has said they'll see me today. I'm feeling flat this morning but still waking up. Everything that's going on in my life atm is bringing up some new maladaptive coping mechanisms so I need to work through that.

Hi there @Patchworks !


I'm sorry to hear that you felt really distressed yesterday. How are you feeling today? Did anything change/ did you do anything to make yourself feel a bit better? ❤️

I'm glad that you are able to see a MH support professional today, I hope it goes well for you, and that it helps you feel a bit better.

Sending my support,

Amber22

Re: Bad day

As today progresses, my mood is improving. I'm catching up on tidying and housework which always gives me a sense of accomplishment.

Thanks for your support @amber22
