Something’s not right

Not Coping

Not Coping

Hey everyone how are you all?

@RiverSeal @Shaz51 @NatureLover @tyme @Former-Member @Eve7 @Former-Member @amber22 @Jynx @FloatingFeather

I'm not doing great at all today. I'm feeling down. I also keep beating myself up for everything and feel like I'm just failing. I need a break from everything. It's getting so hard that I don't know how to keep going anymore especially since I can't talk to anyone around me as they are leaving me or don't understand.

Hope you don’t mind me reaching out I just really need a chat and though I could come on here and vent and talk for a bit.

Thank you

My roster is a bit complicated @amber22

But every shift is that long however on nightshift I leave town at 5:30pm and home at 8am! It varies between 2-3day shifts then 2-3night shifts. After each block you get 4 or 5 days off. Eg 2 days straight into 3 nights.

Hope you sleep well

@amber22 glade it helps. Herbs can be powerful. I love matcha and ginger for pain relief.

Ahhh I see @Captain24 that makes a lot of sense. It is good that you get a few days off to rest in between shifts, otherwise that would be absolutely exhausting! Those overnights do sound crazy though.

Thank you, I hope you sleep well too 🙂

Hey @Birdofparadise8 ,

How are you? I've been chillin all day. It's quite warm outside so I went early to do my lawns at my other place, then came home and jumped into the pool.

I looked and my lawns, shook my head and said, "I need a gardener"....

But other than that, it's been a good day. I watched Home Alone 2 with my niece. She was cracking up laughing.

What have you been doing today?

Re: Tw Not Coping

Today has been ok @Birdofparadise8

Ive just woken up and getting ready for my last shift before Christmas

My nurse that’s working away called me today and we worked through a lot of things that have happened in the last two and a bit weeks. She is sending out conversation to the psychiatrist for the appointment tomorrow.

Hope you have had a good day and I’ll chat tomorrow

Hey @tyme

I’ve just had work so that was very busy.

I’ve got my cousins, pops and aunts birthday today and we are going to an escape room so that will be fun I hope.

Mentally wise could be a bit better, but oh well.

Have a good shift @Captain24

Re: Tw Not Coping

I think I'd get very frustrated in an escape room to that point of turning it into a smashing room @Birdofparadise8 - then again, I can't say because I've never been in one.

All the best with the escape room challenge! Hope you enjoy it!

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Captain24 hope you have a lovely shift. @tyme sounds like a lovely day, your niece seems really sweet. @Birdofparadise8 I hope you have lots of fun in the escape room, and hope you have been feeling okay today.

Just had an appointment with a counsellor. Rough start to the day, my mum’s anxiety plus my own anxiety surged within me. Growing up with a mum who probably has diagnosable anxiety was hard, and it is still hard. However, I do feel a little better now.
