Hi. I don't know what to say, other than that things aren't great just now.

I mean, they're not awful or anything. I just would like to be able to avoid things slipping downhill.

I started a new job recently (as a care assistant in a care home) and the job is fine, but it's night shift and I'm not adjusting well at all. Obviously I am grateful to have a job and so on, and I'm sure it maybe just takes a while to get used to it.

I've always found that having a good routine is pretty essential for me in maintaining positive mental health and I'm just not able to do that at the moment. It seems to be getting harder rather than easier and I'm starting to feel quite low and really tearful. It's not great. I just don't want to end up in a major low.

Not quite sure how best to avoid that happening. Any advice and/or support would be appreciated, thank you.
