I had a horribly crappy day. I work as a medical assistant and absolutely hate the people I work with. That's in a whole nother thread around here. And I'm usually very nice and cheerful to the patients but today I found them all annoying. I know, I sound like a monster. I'm incredibly exhausted and couldn't wake up. I was rolling my eyes so hard at every patient today. One lady kept asking why her stomach was big and the doctor tried nicely to tell her she was overweight. I wanted to scream at her. I hate when my MI makes me like this. I just want to sit on the ground, pull my hair and scream! I came home and took a nap just to wake up feeling worse. Dropped a cup of pizza sauce on my phone charger. Right on the plug! I'll be taking my PRN risperdal tonight. For the first time, I'm going to skip my seroquel hoping I'll be less sleepy tomorrow. I took one of my bf's trazadone instead. I really hope I'm not like this tomorrow. My work wk still has Friday and Saturday to go. I would definitely go nuts if I felt like this two days in a row. Anyone else get these "off" days?

You're not a monster. I've definitely had those days. When I had to work with customers I would have them a lot. I was "that person" in the office people had to be careful around.

I remember having one of those days. I was walking through the hall and the clinical director nodded hello. I said hello back but in my mind I was like "stuffy old bastard". He didn't even do anything to me that day but I was soooo pissed off! I'm thankful I am a deserved person and don't just say anything that comes to mind.

I don't have any prn to rely on so I take Benadryl when I feel like I am too irritable. I figure it's a bit like vistaril. I hope you feel better tomorrow.

My girlfriend gets like that more than I do. The meds I'm on probably control it. Plus I've always been on sales so you condition yourself to kiss as$ until they buy or go away.

Oh my god that is so stupid. How dumb do you have to be???

You're not a monster though, everybody has off days like that. I work in a job that often includes a lot of direct contact with clients and sometimes their lack of self-sufficiency and neediness drives me crazy. Especially when it comes to old people who don't know how to use computers -- I'm not talking about they can't make a spreadsheet on excel -- I'm talking about when they don't even know how to copy + paste or print a document. Blargh.

Haha I know what you mean! I'm the doctors assistant and see every patient with him and sit inches next to him and do the computer stuff. When he grabs the mouse and tries himself it drives me nuts! I have to keep pointing at the screen to show him where to click. He's done this himself a lot and still doesn't get it! No wonder he needs someone next to him all day! He can do heart surgery but can't copy a document by right clicking!

I'm an RN & get like this a lot. I usually can suppress it at work & in particular with patient & co workers because I know in my heart it's really all my problem & unfair on them. Mostly my family & partner suffer because I've used up all my capacity to be civil at work & they cop it massively. Sometimes I can't control myself & I have actually swore at a brand new intern & told them if they didn't know what they were doing they better ****ing get someone who does, then I threw a pillow across the room in front of 2 patients in beds. I must have appeared fairly unstable at the time though because both patients & my co worker tried to console me afterwards when I began crying. This was all over me feeling like I was the one with the most experience in the room (I only had one other nurse with me at the time & she was a graduate, mind you I've only got a few years experience.) I felt unsure of what I needed to do, I was worried the patients condition would deteriorate & they hadn't been through the appropriate triage procedure & should never have been on the ward he was. I felt the responsibility being put on me when I was not capable & had tried but was not receiving help in a reasonable timeframe. It felt really bad to humiliate myself the way I had, mainly because the patients saw the whole thing & I was in fact overreacting to a not very critical situation. I didn't realise this until afterwards though. I remember being so overwhelmed I told my co worker who I should have been educating that I was over it all & over life & I didn't care anymore.

Your no monster because I feel like this, (I would describe it as irritability,) & I feel like it most days.

Thank you for your reply wanderlust! I can totally relate! I've already had a panic attack on the job and went home early once. And there's a girl there that gives me hell every day. The problem is, this wasn't one bad day. I feel like this at work often. It drives me insane. The people I work with and the patients drive me insane! Oddly enough the only person I'm fine with is the doctor. And that's not like me to like a doctor lol. It was intimidating being his assistant and sitting inches next to him at first but now that I know his flaws, I don't care. Only thing about him that makes me cringe is he can't say metformin. He says metMorFin! It drives me nuts! Lol
