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

Re: Tw Not Coping

Omg how is that fair. We have to have a break of so many hours before we work.

Seven hours isn’t enough @outlander

Can you complain.

Normally it’s 10 hours but no one was avaliable to work @Birdofparadise8
Just means that my shift today is in overtime so double pay for me today.

Re: Tw Not Coping

It’s the joys of short staffing @Birdofparadise8 at least it would be 17 hrs of double time lol.
I’ve managed to find someone anyway though but they can’t start till abit later so instead of a 9 hr shift today I’ll have 11 so that’s ok at least it’s not a double

Re: Tw Not Coping

Hi @outlander and @Birdofparadise8, I hope you are both well <3. Sorry I haven't been on much, I've been sick, I sort of had a rough night earlier this week and still went to placement, but was able to sleep in today
