Broke down in tears at work today following miscommunication- wasn’t told something so cos I didn’t do it I was made to feel like the whole outcome was my fault in regards to a patient being aggressive
I’m beyond burnt out.
I don’t usually cry or breakdown but that broke me.
So angry at myself for crying cos now I look like a weakling. I’m already the youngest nurse in the place don’t need this added to it!!
How does one stop self hate behaviours and self destructive behaviours?
I had a couple of drinks over than what I wanted to last night. I didn’t do anything bad or what not. Nothing like that
I did send a message and unsent it haha again it wasn’t bad. Just made the decision I couldn’t be bothered with the disagreement it may have caused.
I’m just tired of falling into bad habits, tired of the self sabotage behaviour.
I’m just so tired.
Now alcohol isn’t an issue I don’t drink alot at all, but I’m constantly in my own head, hating on myself, belittling myself. I’m so exhausted with it all
I’m currently a mental health nurse, how would I go about changing into a counsellor/ CBT worker?
I’ve tried to google it but not much luck
I’m a mental health nightshift nurse in a private Carehome, unfortunately things have went wonky with some staff and situations have resulted in investigations.
As nightshift nurse we’re already short, and I feel so much anxiety now before and after a shift. I’m 30 yrs old this is beyond unhealthy the amount of anxiety I have around a work place
I do 4 and 4 but soemtimes my shifts are all together so 6-8 shifts in a row at times….
Is there any jobs mental health nurses can do from home? I’m starting to question my entire career choice but it’s all I know
I’m so stressed out and can’t afford time off as we don’t get paid for it
I hate how my mind focuses on how many people like my stuff. Before hand I’m embarrassed to admit, I used an app to boost my fb and insta likes
I since stopped cos I decided it’s not worth it!
But now I feel embarrassed and belittled by how little reactions my post get
I’m 30!! Wtf is wrong with me :(
Please don’t judge me, but I’ve started buying Instagram likes. Well not really buying I’ve put maybe $6 into it but it’s mainly watching videos or liking other peoples posts and you get coins but it takes soooo long
I don’t know why…. Infact I do know why I do it, I’ve always been the uncool girl, the ugly girl, the girl who NEVER gets likes because she doesn’t fit in and kinda has no friends
But now I feel in a whirl pool…..
Has anyone else ever used fake likes before? and how did you stop because I don’t want to do it anymore but I feel embarrassed getting little likes 😔
I’m a mental health nurse who has previously worked in hospitals and care homes,
However I’m finding them not what I want to do,
I’d love to be part of forensics or even work community based areas but I don’t drive….
I’m just wondering if anyone knows what other jobs mental health nurses can do that doesn’t involve inpatients and carehomes because I’ve done 6 years now and ready for a change
Can a nurse be sacked if they post on their own social media about their OWN mental health battles they have fought or overcome?
Nothing alarming or bad or anything like that? Just that they’ve struggled or currently struggling with low mood?
I’ve downloaded the Liven App for my mental health following seeing it advertised and the recommendation
I’m just wondering if anyone has used this? And had a positive outcome?
I understand i need to put the work in and must follow it. It’s not a miracle worker I still need to put the work in.
But yeh. Just wondering if anyone’s tried it??
Any advice on how to stop being a pushover, I was spoken to like cr@p this morning and was adviced by my manager, someone told them untrue facts about my injury at work, that has now resulted in a investigation- I said umpteen times I did not say, what’s been accused of saying, however was directed back to “but that’s what the handover says”
So i ended up in tears in the car home - because I’m fed up being made to feel like a walk over all the time.
I was injured at work now somehow being made to feel in the wrong because someone lied or misunderstood what I said….
I have Informed my union as the manager now wants letters of why I was at the hospital or some type of proof. I’ve since been told off my gp i do not actually need to hand these documents over but again, i havent the baws to say that….
Any tips or tricks on how to stop being such a pussy and letting people walk over me? Because it’s at the stage I’m thinking of walking away from the job I love due to my own confidence and lack of vocie
So I work in a private Carehome, and sick pay is basically buttons
I have been to hospital and have an injury, caused by a resident who punched me following a period of distress. Was just sudden no warnings.
Now I’m possibly looking at a few days if not a week off.
My partner is telling me to claim via legal methods.
But I really don’t want to be that guy and claim from injuries. But I also don’t want to be down in my monthly payments cos it’s genuinely not my fault
No idea what to do - any advice? Or people that have been here too?
So my attendance sadly hasn’t been the best at work - due to medical problems.. anyway that’s not the issue
I was hurt at work by a patient, I work private care so I know sick pay is shite - reason non of my sicknesses are false.
But I’ve ended up in hospital due to the injury from work, not admitted, but awaiting scans.
I’ve been adviced, to take time off work due to pain I’m experiencing in the chest and the left arm.
See cos it’s been an injury at work, can they still discipline me??
Looking for a bit of advice.
I’m a nightshift nurse in a carehome, I’m due to work Wednesday to Friday nighy. I was just on for 3 there but off tonight
I have a hospital letter that’s came through for a ECG of my heart due to taking not well a few weeks ago. The letter arrived today and it’s asking me to attend at 10am on Friday morning. I obviously will be going as I don’t want to miss it
I’ve emailed my manager regarding possibly getting Friday night off as I’ll be finishing 8.30am and going through to the hospital and not sure what time on Friday I’ll get back
I’ve got an awful feeling they’ll say no due to short notice, but giving I’m having issues with my heart, I’m terrified of ending up lacking sleep the Friday night.
Is there any advice anyone has that possibly has ongoing health issues too?
