Having a bit of a set back today....

Feeling low today..was stressing this morning about a Drs appointment at 8.30am ,,I went. Got a further sick note for a month...another prescription too..finding all the stuff around claiming sick pay stressful as I've never been out of work before..

A friend text and said there was a possible job for me at her husbands workplace, she doesn't know I'm not well..that has sent me into a turmoil, thinking how can I turn work down, how can I tell her I'm not well and not up to it, all sorts going round in my head..it's highlighted the fact I can't take on a job it scares me too much...

I truly hope I feel better for my trip to my friends this weekend....

Hope everyone is having a better day than me xxxx

Sorry to hear you are feeling low today

I no this sick thing & getting sick notes in is a pain in the bum , keep sending in the notes , that's all you can do

I would tell my friend , that I am not well , if she is a friend she will understand , you can say as much as you want or as little but I have found friends seem to appreciate me saying how things are , rather than thinking I am just been funny with them

Again though I tell different friends , just as much or little as I want them to no or they need to no

Don't beat yourself up about not been able to work , somehow we think with this we should , yet as you say you are not well enough , if it was anything else wrong , chances are we wouldn't think twice , we have to accept this is no different , you are not well enough at the moment , be kind to yourself

I hope this weekend makes you feel better

Love

it's awful isnt it, i sent 8 years not telling people about my anxiety and then one day i thought hang on- i'd tell them if i'd broken my leg, or pulled a muscle - it's just another health problem - be honest, tell her you're not well, maybe they could help you do just a couple of hours until you get more comfortable, i m 'recovering' from anxiety with the help of hypnotherapy and EMDR - its been amazing and taken me a year to get off the pills and start to live my life again, had a panic attack yesterday so feel a bit confidence knocked today, but onwards and upwards x
