so, i worked six days in a row last week. well, six nights.
i worked my ass off every single day because i really needed the cash.
at the same time though, i had been having major problems sleeping. i wasn't sleeping til 9, 10 or 11 in the morning even thought i finish at 3 or 4.
so was working really, really hard on very little sleep but managed to get through it by drinking redbull.
i worked sunday and it got to about 10.30 on monday morning and i felt so bad i thought i was gonna die. my head hurt the worst it's ever hurt, my skin hurt, my arms and legs hurt even my fingers hurt. i was sweating hot one minute and shivering the next. i was so desperate to get to sleep i took a double dose of valium i was prescribed months ago to deal with irregular panic attacks. slept for four hours and once the valium wore off i was awake again and i felt so bad i was so desperate to get back to sleep. so i took 2 more. slept another 5 hours and then i was awake again.
i didn't dare take any more so i suffered through another few hours when i finally fell asleep without drugs.
so all today (tuesday) i've been sleeping on and off all day and i still feel pretty bad. joints aren't hurting so much but my head still hurts and i have a temperature still.
so, my questions are:
has anyone had to deal with that before? what did you pu it down to?
do you think my body was just desperate for sleep?
i feel like i'm starting to get a cold so perhaps it's a virus in conjunction to lack of sleep?
i haven't eaten anything since monday morning so maybe that's making me feel worse?
how can i be right for tomorrow evening's work? i feel like death warmed up!
i guess i wanted other opinions because i've never felt like this before. bleh.
i'm definitely slightly better today because yesterday i felt so bad i couldn't open my laptop/watch a film/read a book i was just so desperate to sleep it off.
hope i can sleep tonight.
this post has been epic![]()
