Best Of

I get so worried about being ill especially in winter when winter bugs are bad I get terrified and convince myself I’m going to be ill. It’s been worse since I stopped taking my meds (which I have started taking again but only a couple of weeks ago). I work night shifts by myself and I’ve stopped working them for the past month cause I’ve been to anxious convincing myself that I’ll be ill in the middle of the night and cause I’m by myself no one will be able to cover and I’ll have to stay at work whilst be really ill. I’ve got my first night shift back tomorrow night but I’m so anxious worrying that I’ll be ill and won’t be able to do it. Symptoms of anxiety are similar so the more anxious I get the worse the symptoms are the more anxious I get and so on in a viscous circle. Just wondering if anyone has any advice cause I can’t stop working night shifts forever, but at the minute the thought of having to do it tomorrow is too much

So samaritans called the police on me tonight cos of something I said 🙄 they got here life 5 mins ago and I messaged @Past User and @Dancer that they were here and that mum answered the door in Elf pyjamas.

To make light of the situation this is what @Past User says that had me crying from laughter.

"Welcoming the police into the grotto"

"Imagine what the police think when an elf opens the door though"

Then @Dancer said:

“Is this the right house? It looks more like Santa’s grotto”
