It’s 3AM and I honestly don’t know how to feel right now. My sister came home and started complaining about how for the past three days I’ve been at home not cleaning or doing much. I tried explaining that my pills make me sleepy and exhausted, but she kept saying I was making excuses.

She even started questioning the purpose of my medication, saying that if I’m able to go to work, then I should be able to function normally at home too. She complained about a lot of things, and some of it didn’t even make sense to me.

Now I’m just sitting here speechless. I don’t even feel hurt, just empty inside and a bit angry that she spoke about my meds like that. People really don’t understand how mentally exhausting it is trying to function every day while dealing with your mind and medication at the same time.

I went to my psychiatrist last week and told him how I’ve been experiencing depression for the past few years. I honestly can’t remember the last time I felt genuinely happy. My emotions feel numb I don’t really feel sadness or happiness anymore. It’s like I’m just existing and going through the motions every day.

I want to do a short course in cybersecurity, but I don’t earn that much since I work in retail. I’ve been saving up some money little by little, and I’m wondering if it’s worth investing in.

For anyone who works in cybersecurity or studied through short courses, did it help you get into the industry or improve your opportunities? I’m interested in tech and want to build a better future for myself, but I also don’t want to waste money if it won’t really help.

I work in retail, and lately my sleep schedule has been completely messed up. My shift starts at 1 PM and I knock off at 9 PM after working 7 hours. By the time I get home, I feel restless and can’t sleep properly.

Most nights I only fall asleep around 6 AM, then I have to wake up again at 10 AM to get ready for work. I honestly don’t know where I’m getting all this energy from. Even when I’m at work, I’m exhausted, but somehow I still manage to push through the shift.

Has anyone else experienced this working retail or late shifts?
