Struggling

Hi, I am really struggling at the moment I have a blood cancer and chronic kidney disease amongst other health issues. I was shielding, but now work expect me back so am having to use sick pay because they will not medically suspend me. I’ve had to get my union involved (I work in school and in my area a lot of schools have sent home varying year group bubbles from confirmed Covid cases).

I miss the gym, I workout at home but motivation is low and weight is slowly creeping up ☹️ I miss social aspect of gym classes. I miss my holidays, we were spending Christmas and new year in Australia, but this was cancelled yesterday.

I just feel so out of control and overwhelmed. Covid has and still is worrying me and I feel like I’m held hostage by it.

I am so very sorry to unload here but I am so emotional right now and I just want to feel like me again.

Thank you so much for taking the time out to reply. I truly appreciate it.

I hope you are getting the help and support you need for med issues.

😘

Sorry your health is so bad, I can relate to your worries as I am Chronic Disabled and have to be very careful. We were out shopping this morning and we got back mid afternoon I feel that will be the last time now for quite a long time, We are returning to Lock Down from now as we feel worried at the Virus becoming more active again.. I am getting on now, 70 and it is not worth taking the risk. We will get food deliveries and probably get out in the garden for fresh air and closing the garden down for winter. We are lucky here we never see many people around and that suits the two of us and our dog.

We were supposed to co on holiday to Scotland earlier this year and it was all cancelled so now we do not feel getting away is a good idea at the moment. Were you going to visit family in Australia ??.

If you go on the sick and you are a teacher will they not after six month reassess your health by your employer and retire you out by Board. I was retired when I was thirty seven and never worked since. It was not worth them flogging a dead horse.

If you have the need to vent there are people here, including me who will help you get things of your chest
