Re: Struggling
I'm not long back.
The doctor was extremely kind. He has signed me off for a week (there goes my interview I guess, don't know why that bothers me, well I do, plus increasing work on colleagues) but as he pointed out there is no point if I continue on and that could have a lasting detrimental effect etc etc. That I have to respect where I am now.
So I have tablets just for this week, confide in someone like a friend, seek support etc etc and ring him Friday.
I got some details on other support too and maybe take this time to look at it when I'm in a better place.
I'm completely zapped so seriously considering takeaway for dinner..After pizza on Monday!!

Re: Struggling
Do whatever makes life easy for you. Be kind to yourself and treat yourself as you should be treated with love and respect. Glad you are getting signed off and seeking support.
Re: Struggling
Plenty time for cooking dinners when you're in a better place. You deserve the takeaway. Great update. Take it easy for the week.
Re: Struggling
Nothing wrong with takeaway. The Least pressure on yourself right now the better.
Well done on taking that step, do confide in a friend.

Re: Struggling
Oh thats just great the doctor waa so kind and understanding (as they should be of course)
I hope that gives you some comfort Shining You are signed off now so please try not to feel guilty as being frank no one will care or remember in a few weeks anyway. You need to just take the time to have some TLC if you can
Please keep posting here as most of us have been through or will be through similar

Re: Struggling
shining - that is a great update. It is a big step to ask for help and so glad you were met with understanding and kindness. A couple of takeways in a week is neither here not there in the grand scheme of things.

Re: Struggling
That's a great update. Well done. Work will get by so don't be worrying about it. It is a sign of your loyalty as a colleague that you're thinking about your colleagues but we all cover for each other over time and no workplace is brought to its knees by an absence like this. Just take the time you need.
