    A winter battle

    I'm feeling horrible. I started new security job on 27 Nov and do lots of out door patrolling and searching staff at this delivery depot. I can't stand the cold it makes me feel ill , it's triggering panic , I hate searching people as I worry what they think of me , I've never been confident in social situations so when I have 20 staff lined up waiting for their daily body scan I feel I'm going to pass out.
    However I seem to get it done.
    The symptoms I have are the worst ever ( well it seems like that now)
    I am convinced I have MS , constant nerve like sensations , weakness, painful muscles , pains in tummy which move around , groin pain driving me nuts then there's the front of thigh pain shooting to my toes sometimes.
    I'm not sleeping well when I'm nightshift ( 3 days , 3 nights , 3 off)
    Am I heading for burnout. I'm at my wits end here but financially struggling so need the wage.

    Any advice please.

    Happy new year all

    dont worry about ms, you havnt got it otherwise you wouldnt feel anything, just weakness. working night buggers your body clock up so im not surprised u feel like sh^t. when i have to do nights i take nytol 12 hours before my shift starts, put ear plugs in, wear a bdsm blindfold(dont ask!!) and get as much uninterupted sleep in the day as i can. days off are just a longer sleep between shift. brings the dolllar tho. The cold is another problem, i work on the frozen dept of a supermarket and wear thermal everything.

    Good luck fella

    When I go to bed after night shift I fall asleep no probs but wake up after 3 hours feeling as if I'm wired up to the electricity supply and my body is so tense and tight , it's as if I'm panicking as I sleep , I wake up shaking and full of fear and now I have ( after being well for many years) became fearful of this fear and the dreaded vicious cycle has taken hold.damn it I thought I'd beaten this a while back. I'm too old for this crap now , why/ how did it take hold like this again.
