Re: not coping

its been ok. tiring. have some emotions swirling around and abit of physical pain reminding me that its still there even if i try and ignore it. at work now till 9 tonight and then the better job from 9-2 tomorrow before i get pop from the day program @Snowie
shift is going abit faster today at least though. just waiting for the groceries to come within the hour to put away and then everything is done.
dinner is done and showers are done. passing time for meds but i think night shift will do them tonight depending as some can only be administered at certain times.

Re: not coping

Sorry to hear about your pain hon @outlander Our bodies are so good at reminding us about what is wrong 🤦‍♀️

Hoping the shift goes quickly for you and you can get some sleep tonight before tomorrows work.

My day has been tiring but haven't done much. Just numbing myself with prn so I don't have to think about anything. It is what it is.

Re: not coping

i guess thats the joys of chronic pain @Snowie sometimes i cant ignore it . i always have pain but its more at a baseline that i know its there but sometimes it likes to break through and remind me its is still there.

ill probably be in bed early. ive been in bed sleeping by like 730/8 some nights when im not working. the fatigue is plaguing me.


i understadn the tiring days even without doing anything. our brains have a way of exhausting us too.
