Not Coping

Hey @amber22

How are you?

Hope you had a great break and a wonderful Christmas and new year.

Hey @Captain24

So lovely to speak to you, it's been a while!

I'm doing well, it was my first day back at work today after a bit of a break. My Christmas was lovely with my family, but my new years was hit with an unexpected case of covid for my partner so we just stayed in and had an isolated Netflix New Years (not too mad about it at all).

How are you? How were your holidays?

It has been a while @amber22 I have missed you all!

I’m glad your Christmas was good. I hope your partner didn’t get too sick with Covid. Other than covid it sounds like a perfect new years to me!

My Christmas was pretty quiet but it actually went surprisingly ok. My new years at the stroke of midnight I was sitting on a bench outside the meal room alone waiting for a truck to come in. I didn’t even know the time! It was just another work night.

I’m struggling a little well maybe a lot. I haven’t been able to cry for months and then Monday morning near the end of my shift. The tiniest little thing happened and I broke. I was hysterical and had to go home. I had to pull up on the way home because I couldn’t see.

Hi @amber22 @Captain24

I had the appointment with the Acute Care Team they were nice and all, but the only thing really is they said I can call them if I need some support and that is about it.

I’m a bit annoyed now, but looks like I can’t get much support. they just kept saying how great I am at asking for support so then why won’t they give it to me.

How are both of you?

I've missed you too @Captain24 !! So good to be able to connect with you again

Yes I couldn't agree more, I love a quiet new years at home, we were watching Netflix and fell asleep by 12! Luckily he didn't get too sick, but there were two or so days right in the middle where I did get a bit worried for him because he was sleeping sooo much.

That sounds really challenging, how did you feel after you were able to cry and let it out? I hope that you have been taking care of yourself, I find that crying is extremely exhausting, especially as it sounds like you didn't let it out for a few months. How have you felt since Monday?

Hello and welcome back @Former-Member

We had a very quiet new years eve too

Hey @Birdofparadise8

Sorry to hear that you don't feel properly supported by the Acute Care Team. I find it really hard when people say I can reach out to them if I need anything, I almost feel awkward doing so, and I don't completely understand what it means either. Is there anyway that you could ask them to create a plan for you? Maybe a check in system where they call you rather?

I'm doing alright today, back to work after the holidays so just chugging along back into routine.

What did you get up to for new years? @Shaz51

🤣😂 just relaxing Mr shaz style @amber22 xx
