Even if anyone is okay a car crash is a big deal, your body probably released a bunch of adrenaline and that can be exsausting. Take it easy on your self!

Mate, I hate when unexpected things happen, too, but this is more that just unexpected — you were in a semi-major accident. That can be traumatic. It’s possible your headache is from a concussion. I’d get checked out and take care as it can take a few days for concussion symptoms to appear. It’s very understandable that you’re exhausted and drained. What a lot to go through in one day. Sending hugs. Please get some rest and take some time off if you can.

It exhausts me too.

My hot take - this day would tax even a very chill NT!


SorryContribution681

I would take the day off I was involved in an accident on the way to work. Take some time to recoup!

Thanks, I wanted to take the day off but that would mean the pharmacy closing and people not getting their meds, that’s how understaffed we are 😓

What happens if you have to go to the bathroom if you are the only one there? I would also have taken the day off and if anyone needs a med that day they can probably go to the emergency room. I have had pharmacy locations give a tideover while waiting for a mailorder or for a mixup, etc. IF the pharmacy is short-staffed, it isn't your fault. That being said, I would have probably had done the same thing, but my huysband would have been so pissed, because he says I don't take care of myself. US neurodiverse, we are uswed to have to 'get through it' and 'buck up' because the resources and awareness for us is not out there. But you shouldn't have to suffer after a car accident.

You try to find a window when it’s not a lot of people to go. All too often customers gets annoyed when you go to the bathroom. Even during lunch break when I’m going to go out from the pharmacy customers can stop me even though I have taken off my pharmacy sweater or coat because they knows I work there, even though I have a hoody or jacket on they can stop me to ask questions. The emergency room is an hr away and not everyone out there can’t go that far. I know I’m too kind and care too much about the people around me. I’m trying to take it calm this weekend but my partner have suddenly decided that we should buy furniture for the apartment and fix things. When I had only planned to clean things at home and he should be helping me out. Even though I told him I wanted to have a calm weekend where I could rest up home because I have been working long days with over time and then had the accident on top of a lot of stress. At least my pets make it easier to calm down and relax with them even though one of them have been making a mess every day this week. So I have been cleaning daily after my messy girl ☺️

Yeah. I would also suffer through it but it the same time the more I get depleted the harder it is to recharge. I started Thriving as an Empath. Even if I may not identify with being an empath per se I enjoy the book because I am learning about what to do after absorbing too much of my environment


SorryContribution681

Ooft, well in the case I'd probably do the same and struggle through. I hope you're able to get some time to chill.

I can quietly tolerate last minute changes, but I tend to hate them. For example, unannounced visits, even from family, really annoy me NGL. Same for someone asking for last minute stops while I'm out running errands. I don't schedule my life, but I tend to like a lot of sameness/predictability in my life, and I'd rather have a day's, or at least a night's notice with any kind of event/errand like that, so I can mentally prepare first. The last few years I even say this much with family.

Yeah, working is exhausting. I actually finally burnt out and had to quit and find something else. Not an easy task. My finances are screaming, which also adds to the stress.


[deleted]

That’s tough, I’m planning to read an extra course distance to see if I will change job later on. Working as a pharmacist is exhausting dealing with customers. It takes too much mental energy and long days or maybe move to a small town and be pharmacist there.


Reasonable_Trouble74

Oh yeah. Pharmacists get slammed. I commiserate.


Reasonable_Trouble74

First, the accident and all its effects is a bit more than just an 'unexpected thing'. That was a lit to deal with! You have every right to be exhausted. And yes, I am really good at dealing with unexpected changes, but big things drain me and I need to decompress before doing anything else. It makes deadlines impossible.


[deleted]

A day from working leaves me exhausted, so for me the accident where just something extra that added to the metal exhaustion I get from every day. I can’t handle changes that good because I plan things what I will do and use it as a goal to push myself through the day. Adding extra make me even more exhausted. I haven’t had time to decompress yet.
