Y'all. I am so exhausted... got to bed about 11:30pm or a little later and now I'm up at 2:30am for a 12 hour shift. I know I've slept a lot the last week after coming off that manic episode, but dang I don't know if I've ever gotten 50-55 hours of sleep between 5 days. Why does my body hate me. I don't want to deal with anyone today, but I work with the public so not much of a choice on that matter. Maybe this date with my Fiancé later will help.. make me feel a little better. I haven't really seen her in the past 2 weeks even though I've been home every single night. Bleh I'm over this week..

What is this "sleep" you speak of? 3:30 in the morning here. Gave up on sleeping for this night.

My wish for you is that the public you deal with today will be amusing and kind.

Good luck, chin up, carry on, and all the other encouraging cliches given sincerely. :)

Passing4sane,
Well honestly I either sleep too much or none at all. Like my moods it comes in waves. I also hope they are amusing today I could use it. Thank you, I’ll keep my chin up today

Wow, that’s rough. And first off, shame on the scheduling manager for not scheduling you properly between shift changes. If you see that in advance it is completely rational to ask the manager if the switch can be made to allow for proper rest in between. Im sure there is even a labor law about it but some don’t care. Dont he afraid to assert yourself, calmly, and ask for a quick meeting. You don’t even have to disclose mental health - it a normal decent human ask of another human to receive fair scheduling.

Hope your day has started smoothly. Sending strength and positive vibes and I too hope youve had great customers during your shift!
