what will I do for the evening?

[Crocja]

I am finishing a 6 day gruelling live in care work stint. I am exhausted with a very sore head. Feels like a hangover but I wasn't drinking. Likely a migraine that I was forced to work through.

Do I go to the pub and get drunk to try and cope or do I just go to bed and sleep and rest before round number two of more work tomorrow.

Or do I just drink at home and then go to bed?

I would certainly knock the alcohol on the head for tonight. Do you still have a migraine? Do you need to go to pharmacy and get some medication?

We’re you going to pub to socialise? Can you do that without the alcohol?

i would get myself a nicer than normal dinner and go to bed at 730pm scroll tiktok for as long as i want to , and then watch Flack on netflix. so no pub and no alcohol at home et

six days live in sounds like harrrrrrrrrrrrrd work.

No, not to socialise. To drink and forget about this and to cope.

Are you back to the same place tomorrow?

I would go out for a pub meal but not get sloshed or get a takeaway 💞

Please don't resort to drinking as a way to cope. Slippery slope.

Order in a pizza, and eat chocolate instead of the alcohol. Oh, and go for a walk in the fresh air, as that will help you sleep better.

I would pop to the shop and her some nice food and drinks (non alcohol) plus a nice bottle of wine.

Ho home, take some pain relief for the headache l and have a nice bath or shower.

Put one of your favourite shows or movies on and make some food, hydrate and then relax. Have a glass of wine or 2 of the headaches gone

Cup of tea, sofa, blanket, comfort tv.

Sounds tough op. Do you have someone close to you in your life? Ask if you can spend a bit of time with them, maybe to share the pizza, have a hug and then sleep.
If you don’t, give yourself a big hug, have a long hot shower or bath, get some nice food, watch tv and get some sleep.
take care of yourself

Drinking to cope is like putting a plaster over a gunshot wound - don't do it OP.

You need some TLC and self kindness. Go home, have a bath get into your PJs, order a takeaway and do something you enjoy.

If you have an awful headache/ migraine then drinking alcohol is probably the worst thing you could do.

Alcohol isn’t a way to cope. Get your favourite non alcoholic drinks and food and watch TV then have an early night.
