    Wondering what it's like to wake up feeling refreshed from a solid night's sleep.

    I wanna be that person that doesn't need 3 alarms, doesn't hit snooze 5 times, doesn't need a big cup of slap me in the *kitten* face when I roll outta bed.

    Is that too much to ask?!

    I get up right away & then take an hour to get moving. The only time I feel refreshed is when I can sleep as long as I want without guilt & without interruption. That has happened approximately three times in the past 25 years. I am so *kitten* exhausted most of the time & it’s pure will & stress that keep me moving. Most days I fantasize about a nice dark hobbit hole where there are no obligations & I can just lie still & quiet. TMI?

    Not at all. I could have easily written this word for word....minus the dark hobbit hole 😂

    I need to find balance. My ability to get too attached to my dying patients is really weighing heavy on me.

    I know no other way, it's who I am as a person and would want the same care for anyone that I loved.

    It's hard not to take my work home with me at the end of the day.

    If I find myself in that position, it is a person like you I pray for to take care of me 🤗🤗

    My mother was a registered nurse and worked nights. Sometimes she'd be called to special--stay in a dying person's room. I once asked her if she was afraid to be there when a person died. She looked at me and said "No, I consider it a privilege to be there, and to comfort the family".

    There comes a time when you just have to let go & allow people to wallow in their own ignorance

    I made a mistake at work today & I didn’t know it was a mistake at the time & this is why I shouldn’t be allowed to make decisions & now I get to feel this pressure in my chest for a week

    Tbh - most of the chit I’ve learned from any job is by ducking something up- now during your year end review you can list not afraid to make mistakes as a strength - that my friend is a silver lining

    I think I need to take a lot of this back because it’s not completely true. I think I’m having some depression right now which is darkening my perspective. Honestly, when I guard my boundaries around sleep and I’m careful about caffeine I do feel quite refreshed after a good nights sleep. It requires work though and I’m not very good about being consistent with it.
