Having one of those days

[Mandy26]

Hi everyone. Having a bit of a moan as I am struggling with today. I had a terrible sleep last night. For some reason when im falling asleep I feel like my heart is going to stop or my breath is really heavy. Keeps waking me up. So I came into work today in a bit of a rough mood only to be inundated with difficult tasks. I dont get any satisfaction out of my job as it is and its days like this I just want to leave the office. I dont want to speak to anyone. My chest gets tighter with every enquiry that comes through and its often days like this where I go home suffering because I get myself so worked up. Some days I can just get on with it but add the 4 hours sleep into the mix...

Roll on 5 o clock.

Chin up pal. Exactly the same situation last night, heart feels like it might stop and no sleep. I had a doctors appointment this morning so booked day off. I wish I was working though. Sat here on my own, with way too much time on my hands. However, I know if I was at work I'd want to be at home. Catch 22.

It's impossible to shake off the feeling, so unfortunately I have no advice what to do, the best I can offer is keep plodding along today.

Hi iceberg. Did you mention the heart thing to the doctor? I find it odd because it never happens if i nod off on the couch, only when im going to bed to sleep properly.

Can I swap you roles today? Lol. Id like nothing better than to be at home. But bills must be paid

You are right. Time to suck it in and get on with it (although ill be clock watcing all day)

yep mentioned it to the doctor, so now got a 24hr ECG to do. Personally I'd want some valium, but hey'ho, I'll go through another 3 weeks of feelinf like cr*p.

Swap roles? Last time I worked in an office, it made me a little stressed (in a no side effect kind of a way - so now I don't think I could go back to it). Luckily I am a landscape gardener, so very rarely have to meet people and can just get on with it.

Good luck with the clock watching. Try to keep ya head up.

Well I hope the ecg comes back ok. Mine came back fine when I did mine so think ill just have to live with it.

Ah a landscape gardener. That sounds lovely. Although I imagine this cold weather has made it difficult. Office work just isnt for me anymore. 8 years now and ive finally realised.

Thank you. I will try. I might go and make myself a nice strong coffee.

Hi missd

You left your job? I honestly wish I could. Im trying to do my own thing but im so impatient to leave it makes me feel down which I know is the wrong attitude.

Thank you. Good luck also x
