Finally, after that made me cry harder, he said I could either go in the bedroom to cry or he would have to leave for the day until I could get myself together. I'm got to pull myself together quick, because I'm a nurse and have to go in at 6 p.m. for a 12-hour shift. Have to work the next two nights after that, too. Any thoughts on how to get myself together and stay that way?  |
Hi newnurse39212, have you spoken to your doctor about your depression/started on meds..at the lowest times it is very hard to see any light,but it is there...some things you can do are to take some sick time from work..the work will always get done by somebody... you say that you "have" to go to work,but you sound like you need to give yourself some breathing space,start by looking after you... see your doctor and talk your feelings through with him/her.Do you have a supportive manager?
Keep posting and know that there is a lot of support here for you...iam trying to find just one thing every day that makes me smile....today it was watching a cat lazing under the apple tree at the bottom of the garden..it was raining hard but the cat was just watching it all whilst lying down..as if he were waiting for it to stop...how nice to be able to take some time out..a lesson for us all there i feel..wise cat..
