Noone said life would be a bed of roses!

Debating my journal entry tonight!! I'm usually so bubbly and full of life...but the past week has been such a difficult and stressful one!! Maybe that accounts for the chronic headache today!! Who knows...but it sure is NOT my norm!!

I don't want to sound depressing, but there are times when life just really sucks!! I once had a job in a ward I SO loved. Everyday...even difficult or sad ones...left me happy and satisfied. Now....it is SO different. Of course...you just fire in and get on with it....but I reckon I damn near cried on several occasions today!! For different reasons!!!

Work just seems a sad, and frustrating place. I wish I could wave a magic wand and ease the pain for some people. I've wished this before, but in isolated, spaced out occasions. Now there seems multiple, simultaneous situations....all equally leaving staff sad, frustrated and helpless. The only consolation is knowing all staff are equally upset and unsettled at the moment.

The hardest thing about the "caring profession" is that caring!!!! You wish you could switch off your heart sometimes...but you can't and don't. And I swear to God...some situations would nearly break it!! Sigh..............


Sorry for sounding a bit of a misery....


I feel pretty bad about not commenting, and that I won't tonight either.....you folks got my shot to the Spotlight page too!! I assure you...it didn't get there by much that I did!! THANKYOU!!! And for well wishes!! Off to bed again now with hot choc and 2 paracetamol!! Will start commenting tomorrow again....that is a promise!! DID look at many shots over same "medication" last night....SO good...and SO cheering!! I love the talent here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for that too!!
One more shift to go and then days off....thank goodness!!!!!
