  • I remember working at a restaurant once that was open on Christmas. We were expected to be working for at least 12 hours, but we had two 30 minute breaks and a 1 hour lunch.

    One dude brought in a 6 pack of Red bulls, but he was clearly high AF as well. Not sure on what (we suspected speed or something as he was flying), but he chugged those RBs throughout the shift.

    By noon he was in an ambulance on the way to the ER.






  • I tend to find my meltdowns happen to make me more verbal for a little bit. But I still cannot communicate afterwards.

    I’ll mostly be talking (or crying) to myself, doing the whole ugly crying thing. It lasts about an hour, over the stupidest thing, then I just go silent. I had already let it all out, and there was nothing left at that point.

    I’m blank faced, neutral looking. Like a mannequin. The voices in my head have finally gone quiet and I just sit there in silence.

    I kind of enjoy the aftermath, for how blank I feel afterwards.

    That said, it is more awkward for others who don’t understand that I just want to be quiet.

    I should learn how to manage this…
