Ever had a shift so wild that you just sat in silence on the bus ride home?
Today was one of those days.
No music. No scrolling. Just vibes and exhaustion.
What’s your post-shift ritual to recover?

It was a crazy day for us as well. I got to work at 4 AM and didn't leave until after 4 PM. It was just crisis after crisis after crisis. I drove home in shell-shocked silence, lol. Here's hoping tomorrow is better.

Oh yes, those “just vibes” bus rides hit different. I used to pop in earbuds just for silence, not even music, and sit with a cold soda on the ride home. Now, something I like to do is a slow shower with the lights off and lavender soap. What helps you breathe again after those days?

Cool shower, Lavender/Peppermint soap and a Delta 9 gummy

Haha I have those regularly. By the time my shift ends, I'm so mentally drained that all I want to do is drive home in complete silence. Once I'm back, I hop in the shower, find a show on Netflix and order some kind of comfort food from Uber Eats. I try not to do it too often because it adds up quick, but after a grueling shift I feel like I deserve some kind of reward.

Lol yeah sometimes the exhaustion leads me to literally crave silence on the way home. I take off my shoes for my drive and just zone out in silence. I love to have a coca cola though!

I do this basically everyday driving home from work.

I'm looking for a job is anyone here now looking for a person to hire

Typically, I jump in my car as fast as I can and drive home. Then once I arrive home, I will turn off my car and radio and just sit there…decompressing for a while. Sometimes I sit in silence but most times I will scroll through my phone.

what works for me is talking to my loved ones cause i instantly find myself laughing and just like that forgets of all that exhaustion

This has happened to me more times than one. I get home and just want to stare at the ceiling to decompress. I tell my family I need an hour of no talking haha.

Headphones and music on my commute. Sometimes I scroll social media. Play games on my phone. Read an article or two. A small way to decompress and take my mind off of it.

I used to turn rap music on as loud as I could on my way home to drown out the day. On my way in it was 80s , but not on the way home
