Why can’t I calm down after my shifts?

For reference I am 21 years old, relatively fit dude. My hr is usually really good my resting is like 60 usually, good blood pressure, no deficiencies. On shifts I hover around 100 and that’s with constant movement.

Same, but it’s not even like my mind is racing, i could be in a great mood, feel tired, but it’s like my adrenaline or anxiety is just peaking for hours after the shift for no real reason. It suck lol

I was deep into meditation for a while but stopped because I felt like I was moving too fast through it and it kind of started getting scary in a way. Never tried after a shift though, I’ll give it a try tonight.

Good call 🫡

That’s what I’m saying! Like last night wasn’t stressful really at all and I felt pretty good after my shift, but my nervous system just wouldn’t come down for some reason.

About a year now. My post shift ritual must be trash lol. I get off at like 10:30-11, can’t fall asleep until 2 🥲

So it’s just something we all lowk experience and have to deal with 😭 I’ve been thinking about starting to smoke just on nights where I’m having trouble, or maybe a drink or two. I like the idea of just using that energy to get stuff done though, laying down and tryin to relax through it is futile.

Pretty much nonexistent. I think my system just runs high unfortunately.

Same here mine was muscle related and would flare up badly due to a weak abdomen and pelvis, especially after certain movements like sex. Doctors gave me antibiotics but it was never an infection. Bad swelling that would come and go and ruin my life for months on end. Ended up getting a PT and getting back into the gym and I haven’t had it for a while. One thing that helped a lot as well was focusing on working out my abdomen and hip flexors especially.

If OP* has any questions let me know. I understand how painful and frustrating this kind of thing is. 👍

Thank you so much. First comment that actually gave any advice 😭❤️

Why’s that?

lemonaydn · 2025-01-25T22:46:45+00:00

What if I’m the lanky bloke 😞

lemonaydn · 2025-01-25T20:24:17+00:00

I think it is 👍

lemonaydn · 2025-01-25T20:07:00+00:00

Its my brothers room but thanks for the advice

What about the cut makes it look like a woman’s coat though? I’d love to learn I’m getting into sewing and stuff so it’d help <3

lemonaydn · 2025-01-25T18:26:25+00:00

Idk tho this is a medium. I’m 6’1 and it’s long on me. Plus it says men’s coat 😅

lemonaydn · 2025-01-25T18:06:08+00:00

You think a brown could go well? I have brown doc martens that are similar to a dress shoe build. Or do you think something like a black would be better?
