I can’t cope

[Captain24]

I’m sitting here crying. I need to clean my kitchen but I just can’t get up and do it. All I have to do is empty the dishwasher, repack it and get rid of the rubbish. How hard is that? I’m feeling like such a loser right now. Not being able to do it is just proving I’m right.

morning @Captain24 chores like cleaning things are honestly really hard for me to get started. ESPECIALLY when it's so damn cold! you're not a loser for struggling to these things - med changes, the weather, etc - these are just a few things that make it harder to get things done, so pls do be extra kind to yourself today 💙

would it help if i'm your accountability buddy today? you can update me if/when you get any tasks done, no matter how big or small.

Hey @rav3n 

@Because you said accountability, I got rid of the rubbish in my kitchen. Thank you. The rest is just have to wait. I’m just having lunch, then a hot shower and bed. I have nightshift for the next 3 nights. 

[rav3n]

yay!! that's so great @Captain24 sounds like a plan. hot showers tend to make me feel calmer afterwards, hope it helps you rest up well today. that's a hectic work schedule, i imagine it makes it harder to find energy to get things done - yet you ticked getting rid of the rubbish in your kitchen off the list!! 

hope you're having a nice lunch 💙 

[Captain24]

I had KFC for lunch while I didn’t have the dogs @rav3n

I just had a shit sleep so that’s going to me I’ll struggle tonight. 

[rav3n]

now i'm craving kfc... have you tried their choc mousse?

@Captain24 oh nooo i'm sorry to hear that!! is there anything that helps keep your energy up during the night shifts, are you a coffee or energy drinks person?

I got the kids a happy meal today so they could have the squishmallows. @Captain24 

What's been happening for you?

[Captain24]

I drink energy drinks @rav3n . Might need a couple tonight. I’ve also packed a hot lemon and honey drink so hopefully it stays warm until about 3 when it’s suppose to be minus two.

[Captain24]

That’s nice of you. I’ve given up on them. I’ll just give them to the dogs. They will love them. @tyme 

I still feel numb and had a shit sleep but I’m about to go to work. It supposed to get down to minus three at 7 am. So that is shit. I’ve got three nights of it. I’ve left the heater on for the dogs so they don’t get cold. 

[rav3n]

oh yes, and some honey and lemon sounds nice too @Captain24 omg -2 degrees!??! just hearing that made me feel colder haha. hope you're able to stay warm and sick-free 💛

i actually just realised, i don't know what you do for work! only if you feel comfy sharing, i'd love to hear but totally understand if you don't want to 😊
