My crazy world

So I haven't posted like I expected to over the past week or so. I haven't really been in the mood to blog or share what I've been feeling. I can't really explain it other than I need some time away from here. It doesn't mean that I won't post, but I've got to find some balance. I don't know how. Work is completely and utterly overwhelming. I was hoping this would pass. We get patients transferred from other hospital's ICUs to our step-down ICU (where I work). The acuity just keeps going up. And the amount of energy it takes for me to even think about going in is getting higher and higher. I've had two patients in the last week that have tried to go south on me. I guess it's good that I prevented that, but the anxiety it causes in the meantime is insane. I have no appetite. That's not good when you work 12 hour shifts. I'm still crocheting. I just need some time to get back on track. If I don't post in the meantime, please understand . . . cjb

Oh Crystal--sounds like you really need to stay away from the over time for a while and take care of you. And remember--no matter how bad it gets you can only do one thing at a time and take it one second at a time and leave it there when you go home.
