Anxiety and Guilt

[skyisblue]

Hi,

Hello everyone, I am new here and have just come across this community.

I am currently signed off work with anxiety and can not lose the feeling of guilt. I feel guilty and I am not sure why? I feel guilty if I even raise a smile as crazy as that sounds!

I am due to go away for the weekend next weekend, this was booked before I was signed off. Should I still go as being signed off work I feel that I shouldn't and makes me feel uncomfortable.

Any advice or opinions are welcome

Thanks

Of course you should still go away. You have been signed off work, in order to get rid of any stress and anxiety, and what better way to do that than going away for a few days. Go, enjoy yourself and when you come back hopefully, you will feel much better equipped to deal with the outside world. Don't forget that there are people (partner/parents/siblings) who also still care for and about you. Good luck.
