As your Doctor, I recommend an immediate regimen of self fornication.
Everyone forget I talked about this in the first place.
Thank you.

And I know I'm drinking way too much coffee lately.

I just feel like I am repeating the same day over and over and over and it's bumming me out.
I get that feeling all the time too, by the way.
Then I realise that I am basically working to come home to watch TV to go to bed to get up to go back to work to finance this bloody monotony.
But don't worry, you'll die one day. You're just gonna have to sit it out like the rest of us.
Right. Where's ma Whisky?

Originally posted by SunburntI used to work night shift 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. and it messed me up also. I used to come home Sunday morning and stay up all that day so I could be awake during the day on my weekend. I never really felt rested....ever.
I've known people who work 2nd and 3rd shift and they are really messed up folks 😉.
You should try the tanning booth, it does help, thought it is very temporary. Usually only lasts a day.
I like to plant garden seeds inside in February, then I get to think about spring and all the green plants coming up. Tomatoes and Peppers are good to start early in little pots.
If you come out west, I will take you snowboarding on the snow filled sunny slopes of the Rocky Mountains, that will cure you!
I hope you feel better soon!
