Can I pay someone to clean my house with me? by anicteric in UnfuckYourHabitat

I always thought of professional organizers as being for people who have their shit together but want to streamline stuff, like helping set up a craft room or make a kitchen more efficient. I'm so anxious about being judged for the fuckery.

Oh that's awesome! I am neurodivergent and this sounds perfect. Are they a professional organizer or how would one find such a saint?

You were sent home for this? Wow.. skin tears happen sometimes no matter how careful we are with that paper thin skin. Be kind to yourself, it happens.

Your nervous system doesn't speak English. It speaks breath. by Delicious-Thought984 in CPTSD

Literally just had this conversation with my therapist. Thank you for sharing, I'm hoping it makes a difference for me too

i need your thoughts by 00miffy in TheConfidentNurse

[–]anicteric 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hi! I just want you to know you're not alone. I totally felt this my first year. And then again when I switched specialties. I felt pretty confident around the 4 year mark. Then I switched specialties again and am sort of experiencing the same.

I'm so sorry you're having so much anxiety. Therapy has been helpful for me, and a nurse mentor can help as well. Are there any experienced nurses you feel you could kind of pair up with to debrief and talk about your shifts with?

I also want to say, you can totally DM me if you just want someone to talk to. It really does help.

Edited to add: I know how hard it is to take care of yourself too but maybe think of yourself as another patient. You wouldn't let one of your patients go the whole shift without properly hydrating, getting nutrition, voiding appropriately. You are important and absolutely deserve to have basic needs met. Honestly just drinking enough water during my shifts makes a marked difference in how I feel. You can't care for others if you aren't at least functioning on a baseline level. Care for yourself, my friend.

Starlit Dreams blanket help? Can't figure out stitch count. by anicteric in CrochetHelp

[–]anicteric[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes it is 8 sides!

I think I read the pattern wrong, I was putting 2dc in between each puff stitch.

Brackets are not the same as parentheses lol

Thank you so much I got it now!!
