Thank you guys xx

I'm having a major wobble right now. I started work on a different unit (secure dementia) and it is really, really tough. I am trying to tell myself it will get easier once I adjust to it but it's so hard.

I'm so so tired. I need to do better with my sleep hygiene, but to get my eight hours (I am one of those people who really do need eight hours!) I need to be asleep within an hour of getting home and I've never been able to do that.

I wish I didn't struggle so much. I feel like I've lived the past year constantly outside of my comfort zone, and while I know that it is worth it really and I have achieved things, it is exhausting.

I am so so tearful and so so scared of this turning into anything more than a wobble.
