Really getting overwhelmed and considering a PRN

Work is crazy with so many staff off.

Problems with MIL.

So many people around us are in financial trouble this month that we’ve been trying to help out. We’re now at the point of spending the rest of the month in overdraft and the requests are still coming in. Feel guilty as hell.

Whatever I have had for the past few weeks will not go away. Just exhausted, have brain fog. Lungs are starting to crap up again.

I just need everything to stop for two weeks.

I’d ask for that PRN.

Times are tough, man.

Sometimes you need a little extra help through.

I’m sorry things are tough right now. A PRN is definitely something to consider. It’s awesome you want to help so many people, but one of the golden sayings is you can’t fill from an empty cup. I know it’s easier said than done, but try to not feel guilty if you’re at the point where you can’t help people at the moment. It sounds like you’ve already done a lot.

There’s no shame in a PRN. Take one if you need to. The longer you wait, the longer it will take to get balanced again.

I also like Punchy’s post.

My , old psychiatrist, always told me we have to have some self compassion , and part of that is knowing when to use a prn . There is no use in suffering if there is something that will help you get through a rough patch .

Can you go on a holiday or plan a holiday?

Would that help?

Although sometimes holidays are more stressful being around people if you rather be by yourself in bed .

Stay strong my friend

I have it. It’s Haldol. I take it and it rips away part of my cognition and I’m left unable to work.

Have one planned from 24th through 2nd. Wife is making noises about spending it at farm caring for her mom.

Chocolate coated?

Everyone hates to be that guy,

But bug your pdoc for a different PRN.

I don’t don’t really see another option.

I had something just like that for about 6 weeks and it was covid. It was a drag being at work during that

Sounds like you’re a bit stretched thin at the moment.

No shame in a PRN to get you through a couple rough patches.

Take care of yourself @shutterbug :+1:

I’ve discovered a glaring defect with the anti-anxiety meds.

You take them and the people who are causing the anxiety are still there.

Rip!
