#working 10 hours is pain

[mirayladraws]

I was participating in After Camlann Big Bang, although my writer sadly couldn’t finish it so she agreed for me to post it separately!

I didn’t post two of the arts though, just to keep some spoilers away when she finishes the story! 😌✨

(Yes some of them are just sketches and their outfit design but still I hope you like it!)

my coworker said “i’m going to play calming inoffensive music” and it’s the most animalistic-rage inducing repetitive radio music i’ve ever heard

#it’s all ed sheeran clone music #Soery for complaining. i’ve been at work for 8 hours straight and i might be here for 9 or 10 hours in total #i’m suffering and tired and in pain and crying on the inside #txt

I'm bringing all of you to the capoeira practice

#also wondering how many of you are only siblings because I'm pretty sure the first place I learnt to throw a punch was at home #I also got in a lot of physical fights because I took no shit with homophobic bullying and cat calling #but but. both football and capoeira in my neighbourhood were important to me growing up because it gave me the knowledge that I could in #fact beat up a man because physical strength isn't the only thing at play #and I do think the fact most boys grow up having very physical games while girls don't plays a huge factor in women being conditioning to #not react #genuinely think the most important thing when you're in a real fight. is how many real fights you've been on before #a lot of men are very weak for pain. you can beat them in endurance. like I understand there's disadvantage but I hate the DOOMY way some #women talk about men being larger/stronger as someone who's successfully fought off many situations #but this is also why I hate most self defense. like regularly practicing martial arts does help. but a 10 hours course will not kick in a #desperate situation where you need muscle memory. my best advice is if you don't know how to throw a punch just DON'T you can do more with #your elbows or slapping. just. a lot of fights it's being willing to let the desperation kick in and go for the throat yk #honestly I KNOW how to throw a punch and even I tend to go for elbows because I'm 160cm and not that strong lol #anyways my worst opinion as someone who works with teens is that I think sometimes we should let kids solve some problems with their hands #will always pretend I don't see gay students or women who get harassed throwing punches #some of you truly should've caused more chaos in your school years #also it's really sad that women were banned from capoeira for a long time some 'tradicionalists' still complain #it's all about being nimble and smarter in order to beat an opponent you ASSUME it's stronger than you. it just feels great #gave me a lot of confidence when I really needed ot

i thought i was fine but it is 2:30 am and it is very clear that I am in fact not so I either go to the emergency room (cringe) or i wait this out until morning and hope a doctors office will have time for me during peak flu/covid/norovirus season...

#core talks #honestly i think i can manage the pain enough until tomorrow morning #but i also have work #and if i leave for my appointment i am leaving my co worker to work all by myself while we have already over 30 pts on the schedule #i know she wont care because she wants me to get better but also #fuck dude im gonns cry #i cant fucking sleep im in so much pain how am i gonna work a 10 hour shift tomorrow

I don’t understand why corporate jobs require u to be available at all times like. It’s a weekend I think the spreadsheet can wait Jonathan this isn’t a life or death matter

#I’m sooo salty about my gf’s job they’re so mean #Like why are u requiring them to get on a 3 hour zoom call on a day they’re not even supposed to be working #The crazy thing is they actually asked her to come into office but she can barely see cause he’s in severe pain and can’t take their meds #But they went ‘umm okay here’s a zoom link. See u in 10.’

sending emails at work today is making me feel like a neurotic prey animal 😐

#idm writing emails normally but im in physical pain (period cramps) and struggling with an epic depressive swing so its literal hell #i can barely string a sentence together its taking me half an hour to fucking reply to shit #and its high pressure/priority stuff. someone save me im being crushed by the hydraulic press ahhhhh #please dont let me start crying at work. please #im gonna finish this assay and go breathe deeply in the work bathroom for 10 mins bc im dangerously close to overstimulated #and then take lunch. and then i have another assay taking up this afternoon and then i can go home and cry and play elden ring #fucking thursdays am i right #.diaries #.vent

I had an interview today and they hired me, I was so desperate I didn't establish boundaries with my hours very well but now I'm wondering if contacting the place and trying to establish what I'm physically capable of doing is a good idea or if they'll just back out of hiring me since I haven't signed anything yet. I have fibro (not on disability and no health insurance) so I can't exactly work the hours I think they're wanting me to do and I'm so stressed about it.

#working long hours makes me suicidal not an exaggeration #makes me in immense physical pain and mentally in the gutter #i prefer working morning hours so i can have the rest of the day to recover i just #wish 8 hour shifts with no days off wasnt the norm #i have a job rn that I'm going to put in my two weeks but i havent yet it just only pays 10 an hour to this jobs 13

im still not over the sleep thing one sec i gotta rant about this shit

#i think the problem now is that historically my sleep habits have been Really Messed Up by what can loosely be called insomnia my whole life #its always kinda just been a given that if im in bed and i cant sleep there is absolutely nothing that can be done to help #and thats not for lack of trying i have tried every meditation and suggested solution possible. it does not happen. #if i cant fall asleep and try to force myself w/o distractions i will be awake staring at the ceiling for hours. usually till the morning #thats not an exaggeration it happened often before i gave up on it. so i figured out coping methods! #namely 1) making sure my body is taken care of as well as possible to make sure its not caused by pain or hunger or anxiety #and 2) not trying to force it and accepting itll happen when it happens. and then reading a book or watching a show on a dim screen #until i physically cant keep my eyes open and then i can fall asleep. if i try any earlier than that no dice. my brain wakes itself up again #these worked for years! but now thanks to adhd meds that actually make my brain quiet. uh. these same coping methods are. not working #im physically tired and start my usual routine and wait to pass out while reading but i just. dont. ever. #like. the physically tired feeling has never made a difference in my body cooperating with sleep. but now apparently it will???? #and ive been ignoring it??? bc im used to it not working? i tried just. closing my eyes and trying to lay still yesterday and it WORKED #after like. 10 minutes or so. it was fucking crazy. i thought media and pop culture was lying about people doing that. #anyways. apparently i can fall asleep like a human and not some kind of weird chronically exhausted cryptid now. #(because of new adhd meds to be clear) but i havent been because i didnt even think to TRY it. since. yknow. cryptid status. #shits weird.

i want to go home and get high i am in so much pain holy shit periods should be illegal

#tmi in tags #but ive always had a heavy flow #like not concerning so #but like definitely heavy #and it had been less so recently (especially since i got off birth control and until i found out about my iron deficiency I thought it was #left over hormones or something). but turns out it was just my body compensating for the iron deficiency (which is either my body being #awesome or me being super iron deficient cause generally that doesn’t seem like how it works) #but anyway im doing better on the iron but apparently that means that not just my heavy flow but my like INTENSE period pain is back #both my legs are killing me and nausea and a bit of a headache #I just generally feel like im dying #and i generally have just gotten worse at dealing with pain cause im i. less of it now which is both good and bad lol #but like this genuinely a lot of it like this is on par with how my periods used to be lol #but i have three classes today including my three hour class #so like. i need to stay functioning #im supposed to be writing a paper and reading shit #and instead I’m just #staring off into space mentally screaming #there’s a bird though I’ve decided we’re friends #im going to at least two of my classes #one i might skip even though it’s my favorite and the professor has already knocked my grade down 10% for not attending #im gonna talk to her cause i have attendance accomodations #and ive only missed when i accidentally sedated myself and when i went to see my mom cause i was scared i was gonna kill myself if i didn’t #so i feel like those two days plus today when im dying are valid reasons #and if i have another day i missed that i forgot about then like i feel like there should be at least one unexcused absence allowed and if #there isn’t im gonna argue with her cause wtf #anyway #booms bad days #if birth control hadn’t made me suicidal I would say I’d want to go back on it lmao

[pepprs]

ok mutuals. so we’ve established that i am extremely mentally ill about my job due to fomo and projection issues 🤪😻✨so i rarely let myself turn things down or take breaks or whatever. but im trying to be better about that and in the last couple of weeks like.. i took 2 days off last week and will take another one tomorrow and yesterday i started getting cr*mps so i pulled out of facilitating the orientation sessions bc i was like im in pain and this is one too many things and like.. if it sucks hit da bricks yk. but last night i got my p*riod and i didn’t sleep well and i feel so lightheaded and my cramps are horrible now… and it’s like. literally the only thing i have to do on campus today is orientation which is a nightmare anyway. so maybe i should skip it again and work from home today bc i NEVER let myself do that anymore bc im afraid to miss anything in the office (and also i don’t take anything like pain meds bc my family is insane 🤪 so i would be going thru cramps relying only on my heating pad and i do have one in the office but it’s obviously not the smae thing as like lying down with it and also if i do orientation then im flying solo for 2 hours ON MY FEET the whole time and this time id have to walk around a lot more bc of some of the changes we made). but then im like well ive come to work w worse cramps before and also i feel bad leaving my one colleague bestie alone in the office todsy (the other one is on vacation) esp bc im already taking another day off tomorrow. but then it’s like.. well i shouldn’t worry abt that i need to do what feels good for me. so idk that was kinda rambling and i was going to ask if u think i should stay home but i think typing that out… i am going to.

#purrs #menstruation tw #idk. like maybe.. when i hwbe my period… as long as im living in a place where i don’t have access to pain meds (and even once i am i think #it’s goi my to take a lot for me to take them bc i am scared of them thanks to all the things my parents have said about them over the years #😻👍 so i will need to work up to / out of that)… i should be easy on myself when i have my period and am dealing w cramps bc you can’t predic #predict when they come and the heating pad only does so much. and yeah im the only person in the office who gets periods rn but that doesn’t #mean i should rough it out and suffer bc i don’t want to miss anything like if i have the option to work et home for a day when i need to i #should take it even if im not at like a level 8-10 pain wise when i make that call bc i very well could be a couple hours from that point. #i feel lkke im not articulating myself well bc im lightheaded from exhaustion and bad sleep and also my ut*rus trying to strangle me. but #yeah i think. maybe i will work from home today and just have a very easy day. but i feel terrible about it. lol

This fic has no name lol

William Regal x reader

Summary: Reader is in intense back pain during practice that Regal is watching over. She makes an offhanded comment, and Regal, seemingly not having it, gets onto her about "just taking it". Things get heated before the reader lowers her voice, and shakily recounts her pain and struggles to Regal. Afterward, with a seemingly new heart, Regal offers her a massage to help ease the muscles. (This is not proofread. I just wanted something for comfort, so if you want, here's this blob of words for your eyeholes lol)

One bump too many. That's all it took to have me seething in pain on the mat. All practice, my back has been acting up.

Stiff movements and quiet complaints about the pain didn't go unnoticed by Coach Regal though. He hasn't said a word, but the agitation on his face only grew as my fellow trainees messed up moves here and there as well. And it seems my next comment finally broke him.

"Fucking Christ, my back." I mumbled, under my breath as I clutched my back getting up, moving out of the way so I wouldn't get squished by the next pair practicing their stunts.

Coach Regal's face was between the ropes as he stood outside the ring watching us. So he managed to hear my comment. With a roll of his eyes, he summoned me down by his side as he pinched the bridge of his nose.

"Y/N, come here. Now." I gave a "yes sir," before quickly making it to his side, despite the pain.

Once I stood outside the ring, him towering above me, he lowered his cold and annoyed gaze to me.

"I've heard you all practice. Don't think I haven't noticed your comments. Part of being a wrestler is "sucking it up" and dealing with what we're given. Now tell my why this has affected your performance. Hm?" He inquired, raising his eyebrows as he almost mocked me. His words inflamed my own annoyance and frustration. Not being able to do the moves fully, and without pain, has put me on edge. So I didn't hesitate to open my mouth to retaliate.

"Anything I say will sound like some pitiful excuse, but I guess I'll try. This pain is fucking me up. I can't get through it. And wrestling, as much as I love the competition, and the physical strength and power it takes. But I'm struggling to "suck it up". Maybe that makes me weaker than other wrestlers, but fuck!" I took a moment to calm myself, realizing my voice had raised, and people were looking. I gave them a tight lipped smile, and they went back to training.

"I don't want to be vulnerable, Coach. But I don't know if I can take it." I practically spat out the word "coach". Of course, Regal had no immediate reaction. Instead, after a moment, he let me go back to practice with a dismissing wave.

The rest of the time flew by, despite the pain. Regal didn't push me harder, nor did he give me any reprieve. Instead he acted like I didn't even exist. Which at this point made me happier than anything else he could've done.

When everyone was filing out, I took my time, resting on my back on the floor to decompress. The pain was slowly fading for now, letting my finally relax as the pain disappeared temporarily. I finally rested with my eyes closed.

It wasn't until someone cleared their throat that I opened my eyes, startled at the noise.

Regal stood tall over me. His face seemed softer than it was before. There was no more frustration on his face.

"I want to give you something that may help. I," He stopped before he could continue. I could only imagine an apology was on the tip of his tongue, but he was too proud to say it.

I accepted the silent apology, responding with silence of my own as I got up. I took a second to stretch before letting Regal lead the way.

With everyone else gone, he led me back to one of the private rooms with a cushy bench. I wasn't sure what was going on, but I didn't feel any alarm. Regal was ruthless, but he wasn't creepy.

Even so, what he did next made me stop.

"Lay down. I have something that will make you feel better." Regal's words were mysterious, but I listened. Laying on the bench on my stomach, I sighed as I relaxed.

What I didn't see was Regal rolling up his sleeves behind me before positioning himself at my side. I felt his presence, and looked his way, but didn't object.

His hands on my skin made me jump, but then I relaxed into his touch. I let myself sink into the massage to my sore and tight muscles.

"This is going to hurt, but you'll feel better. Do you want me to continue?" Was that a question? Was THE William Regal asking me if I wanted to do something? It was a god damn miracle that no one would believe.

Remembering that he asked me something, I nodded. The thought of the pain I knew would come made me cringe, but I nodded anyway. Knowing it will do me more good than hard.

With that, Regal dug an elbow into my back as gently as he could.

The massage continued, pain followed by Regal's hands more gently going over the abused muscles. With the sudden relief, I sighed happily. Taking a moment before getting back up.

When I did, Regal was waiting for me. The sight of him going from wringing his hands to putting them behind his back when he noticed me looking was almost comical.

"Thank you, um, Coach." Sitting up still hurt, but it hurt less thanks to his help.

"It was the least I could do." Regal stopped, moving to sit next to me on the bench.

"I wanted to, apologize, for my behavior earlier. You don't deserve to go through pain just because someone tells you that you should. Let me know if I can help you." Regal's words seemed genuine. Again, another revelation. But I was happy to see it. Especially if I was privy to this side of him.

"Thanks. I should get home though. This gear is getting gross." I tried to lighten the mood. When Regal smiled, I knew everything was alright. With a few more goodbyes, we parted ways so I could rest.

Maybe I'll take him up on a massage, or even just a talk, after practice more often.

#idk i just needed soft #this was written in the span of an afternoon #no one made me work through pain #but I genuinely have been in pain all day #standing in one spot for 10 hours is hell #william regal x reader #william regal #william regal fic
