I havenāt really slept for 3 days and yesterday I made a mistake at work .Iām so mortified as pride myself on double checking myself and re checking ā¦ I work in a residential home for adults with mental health issues. Itās vital everything is perfect.
I messed up some paper work š©ā¦today Iāve had to say to my boss that I canāt administer medication,as I canāt even see straight as so tired.
I feel so low and disappointed in myselfā¦I know this is all due to lack of sleep.
I think its time to see the G.P ā¦feeling so sad š

Hi Kat, Iām so sorry that happened.
Itās got to be one of the worst feelings in the world, especially when youāre someone who cares about your work as much as you clearly do - but make sure not to keep beating yourself up about it!
People on 8+ hours of sleep still make mistakes (and ones bigger than yours too!), and I think itās safe to say you wouldnāt be in this type of job if you werenāt someone who really, truly cares. š
Lack of sleep is invisible to most but it doesnāt make it less real than any other health concern - and especially so when it comes to the aspects of day-to-day functioning it can affect.
All this to say that you deserve a lot more grace than you might be giving yourself right now! Take care of you and my fingers are crossed for you for some better nights ahead. x

How are you feeling now @kat ? Whatās so incredibly amazing is your sense of responsibility towards the care and compassion you show to the folks of the residential home. I am confident that if your boss is worthy of you she or he will do everything in their power to support you towards regaining your balance xo

Thank you everyone ā¦I really feel terrible about it but hopefully I will sleep tonight and things wonāt seem so bad tomorrow.
My boss isnāt that understanding to be honest so that isnāt helpful but I didnāt want to make anymore mistakes, so felt it was best to stay well away from meds and controlled drugs ā¦we are short staffed as 3 staff have covid .So isnāt ideal timing š
Going to have a bubble bath and get to bed early, fingers crossed š¤ ā¦please god let me sleep !!!

Hi Kat, well done for doing the tags! I donāt even know how to do thatā¦lol! I can only just about reply to messages. Social media is alien to me. I use it sometimes but usually donāt really havenāt a clue what to do š My 11 Yr old son is always sayingā¦āMum, come hereā¦let me do it for youāā¦so funny. I just go with the flow and chill though and not let it worry me š I might try and learn more one day though if i need toā¦maybeā¦
