Thought I would put a post up as I havent been on as much this weekend.


I have had a good weekend, no major mood swings, and have managed to keep focused on the positive things in my life.


Went to see my dr this morning who said I am ok to go back to work next Monday. Am glad abouit that, but also a bit apprehensive. I rang work last week to tell them I was going to be off longer and one of the sisters said they had been thinking about me but no one wanted to ring me at home as they didnt know what was wrong. So felt relieved at that.


Feel quite good this afternoon, have cut the grass for the last time this year and prepared the garden for autumn.


I guess what I really want to say is, I have been very low and even s*******, but have mamaged to swing things round a bit, see guys it can be done.


Even if this is a one off, and I feel crappy again tomorrow, I can still think about the nice weekend I had.


And thank you all for being around for me, I really love this site and the people on it.


Stay safe everyone


Jem

so happy to hear you had a good weekend and are feeling positive.  guess you colleagues at work just apprenhsive about calling, I know when I was off for a long period earlier this year with stress people tended not to call and left it to just one person who was brave enough to call.


 


wish I had your energy to prep my garden for the autumn, sorry but it will have to wait.


 


You take of yourself this week and build up some strength for next week.

Hi Jem


Nice to see you posting again and to know that for this weekend at least you have been feeling more positive about life.  And as you say if tomorrow you go back into the dark then you can recall the memories of the past few days...... How does that work for you then? 


I can only speak for moi but I find it really difficult to hang on to the good times/moments when I hit another low/dark patch.  Maybe you're a bit further along the journey than me or just different...... 


So, how do you feel about returning to work next Monday? I'm not sure for how long you've been absent.  Maybe there are a  mixture of feelings - wanting to be back at work and occupied again, doing a job you obviously love and yet having to face everyone again and wondering whether you're going to be able to cope with the stresses and pressures.


I hope though that if/when you feel really low again you will let us be there for you.  


Anyway, make the most of this last week - maybe you could start your Xmas shopping?!!!! - JOKE! or just chill out and enjoy whatever. 


It's good to have you back.  Take care, keep safe

Hi Jem

I truly believe that good happy times make us stronger. I call them treasure days.

I wish you many many more.
