Busy busy morning doing interview prep for my seminars later this week. Things are getting real! I'm so tired that I can't keep my eyes open so need a nap, don't think I'll get it all done today as planned 😞

Today went so much worse than even anxiety-fuelled fears. Done!

Hey peeps. Just checking in. I am in a pretty bad way, just about surviving. My mum and cats keep me going; her3 are pictures of the latter 😍 I hope you're all ok

How am I even a functioning human? Just got sleep study results: I stop breathing over 40 times per minute with sats going as low as 60%. I'm not even any use for spare parts any more 🤣 CPAP here we come 😬

It’s finally hit the news. The charity I worked for closed suddenly. We all got a call yesterday to say that’s it. We ran a 24/7 suicide prevention helpline for young people. It’s gone. Closed without warning. 3 days before World Suicide Prevention Day. www.itv.com/news/granada...

I'm being brave and doing a colouring live on Tiktok at 11am GMT+1 tomorrow - just a colour by numbers to reduce tue stress of the first time, but I've picked a cute Winnie the Pooh page. I'd love you to pop in and say hi! vm.tiktok.com/ZGdxxmqry/

Does anyone know how easy it is in reality to tell if a ceiling can take a TV mount? I've googled but it is all very wooly for a non-DIY-minded person. I'm trying to make fully bedrest days feel less like the grim reality.

Well, that's that, second (full time equivalent) year of nurse training over! Not the end I'd have hoped, but I've survived it and passed everything well- bring on year 3 ❤️

Sat in tears wondering how this is life, just shit after shit after shit. My assessor today said she can't believe all of this is happening to one 33 year old (and promptly sent me home).

I had to take the day off, and I don't even feel bad for it - it was really necessary. I'm almost at the end of this placement now and just have 2 last bits to sign off, hopefully on Wednesday 🤞

Errrm don't murder me, but what is with screaming at the top of one's lungs to cheer on/boo people who can't hear you. With the violence in my building, I jump out of my skin every time.

A good but exhausting shift today in every way possible. Nursing on the top floor in 38°C heat is something else. I feel most sorry for the poor (very ill, cardiac) patients, though 😢

Cats notice more than we think! Mine are always very loving, but they've literally been rotating who is on me since I got in my my infusion yesterday. They always seem to know when I'm less well than usual.

I started cross tapering Duloxetine and Mirtazapine today- we are doing it super slowly (1 step up/down every 3 weeks) - please keep everything crossed!

Overcome with hopelessness today. I dragged myself up to wash my hair so I don't have to do it later (placement tomorrow), now crawling back into bed with my book for a bit- maybe I just need to sit with the sadness for a while.

So, today was the day to find out that I am very allergic to deep heat! I am very glad I did a test patch on the absolute tiniest bit of skin possible (less than 5mm) and that still caused a reaction from my hand to my neck 😳
