overthinkingggg

soo basically i overthink everything, it’s super frustrating. on my list of stuff to overthink today, one thing is this:

i worked 5 early shifts in a row (3/4am starts) and feel absolutely wrecked from them, alongside having a super sore throat, really bad headache and just feeling unwell overall really today. i have college today, however, i just emailed and said i wont be in as i feel unwell BUT yesterday was st patrick’s day obviously, and being in northern ireland, well it’s quite a big day here so now im really overthinking not going to college - does everyone think that i am off because i was out socialising n celebrating last night? i really was not though, and i am not at all a social butterfly, i HATE the thought of leaving the house, social situations actually make me feel unwell just thinking about them so yeah idk maybe that’s obvious to people that i know? i’m just really worried that it looks like im faking being unwell with yesterday being st patrick’s day:/

this happened before kinda, it was with work though and i phoned in sick on new year’s day and i was really worried everyone would think i phoned in sick due to being out the night before rather than because i actually couldn’t come into work, though the only thing that made is easier i guess was the fact that i was actually in work the morning of new year’s eve and then me being me fell up metal stairs then just carried on all day as if nothing happened so everyone actually witnessed me falling up the stairs really so the fact i said i was sat in a&e because i really did actually wreck my ankle, it seemed like more acceptable i suppose given how everyone witnessed it happen anyways?

idk im so silly for overthinking this😭

    hey @shannon_164, i dont think you are silly for overthinking at all! It is an awful and difficult spiral to get into so i hope you are doing okay. Easier said than done ik but try not to worry about what college will think about you emailing in sick, it is just one of those things and you cant help it! sounds like you've had a difficult week working those early shifts on top of not feeling great so you have definitely done the right thing in not going in! You need to look after yourself most importantly! hope you are feeling better soon :heart:
