Re: not coping

I hope it doesn't get to the point where you need the ED @outlander but I guess if you have tried everything else than at least that is an option.

Early night for you?

Nothing on tonight and nothing tomorrow at the moment. Might watch some of the footy, see how I go.

Re: not coping

i normally go at day 3 @Snowie but ive been trying to avoid it. its day 6 now so i really am pushing the limit.
its been early nights or sleeping all day so tonight will probably be the same.

your plans sound like mine only i dont watch the footy. im suppose to be a 16 hour day tomorrow so im tired thinking about it already but have the weekend off so just want to get through 2 more shifts

Re: not coping

You are pushing it then @outlander Sometimes enough is enough and we need that extra help.

Sounds like a very long shift. Hopefully the weekend off helps you reset a little.

I'm not even really watching the tv. It's more just background noise.

Re: not coping

ive considered retiring from my jobs @Snowie i dont get any enjoyment from it and ive become the person who only works for money not because its a passion.
but i have no passion for anything. i dont even see the horses much anymore or even grandad. i dont leave the house much unless i have to so usually work and thats it.
i have no interest in life at all anymore and wonder what im still doing here.
i only have the tv on quiet for abit of noise too.
