Yeah its a horrible thing that no one really talks about or understands unless you have been through it. I was working late shifts, the bosses who never have to get up in the middle of the night, never could understand how bad it is. They seem to live in a fantasy world where its ok for you but would they ever do it?
I felt my brain getting unusually hot one night due to being awake for to many days, at that point I decided to leave and will never do that again.
I'm getting there. I'm pretty sexure in my job, but this night shift stuff is killing me. I'm getting there. I'm hoping to be able to quit or reduce hours by this summer. Sick of killing myself.
Best of luck, I know how hard it can be to make a major change, but there comes a time when your health is most important and should come first, I hope you work it out!
Anyone can do it. Sometimes you have to buckle down, get creative and make the necessary moves to support the decision.
