Am I on the verge of a nervous breakdown . . . a serious question.

Nurses General Nursing

I was noticing something tonight at work . . . .When I was doing my charting my hands were shaking so bad that I could hardly write. I have never ever noticed that before, and I am kind of worried. I wasn't too overwhelmed tonight, actually it was kind of nice! there was one point in time tonight when I had to deal with a very raunchy smell . . . .and ontop of that a psych resident that keeps her hands in her pants 98% of the day put her whole fist inside my mouth YUCK!!!!

I managed to vomit like 3 times tonight, but I dont think thats why my hands were shaking so bad.

Yesterday I was so overwhelmed and i did not shake at all. Keep in mind that I am 17 . . . and I'm not old enough to be shaking like that (lol),

I seriously do not know what is wrong with me, but I hear that that is what happens before a nervous breakdown. i dont want to have a nervous breakdown this young, but sometimes I feel like I could. Is this why I am shaking so bad???:imbar

Everybody knows I'm talking to Mandi right?

Strange crowd:uhoh21:

I'm with you Peeps. I am moving on.

ps: Mario, you can smoke yourself into emphysema and cancer and drink your liver into cirrhosis if yo wish to. I personally don't feel as if these behaviors should be applauded though. You will soon be a nurse, and you know better. Denial is a killer.

Kinda typical. Human nature is so easily defined.

Ya know, when people take the time to post something that communicates that they care, then your responses should show the same concern for detail. Your response makes it look like your just getting material for a paper or something.

If you don't you'll miss alot of good input when you really need it because people will quit responding to you posts.

It doesn't have to be literary prose, but people around here expect you to give back what they put in.

Whats that sapposed to mean? Who is that directed towards.

UPDATE:

On Thursday I was working, and things wee going alright, not good, but usually tolerable for me, and then I went out on a break and burst into tears. I don't even know why I did this, but it happened. I cried for a good 15 minutes, and then I went inside and the tremors stopped. and now it is saturday and I havnt had tremors since. I would like to thank everyone for their advice. And I will kep you up to date.

I am curious...if you are 17, what kind of nursing are you doing where you are charting? Are you a student, or a CNA? I didn't realize you could be working as a nurse at 17.

Thats right....it's my biliruben, lol. I ain't said I advocate drinking and smoking. All I said is that if you want to, go right ahead.

Whats worse: denial or surpression? :chuckle
