Once again Ive managed to stay upbeat today until now where im sat at work ignoring my job, playing with my bag, keys, glasses... anything but work. I have stomach cramps and a headache I feel like crap. Just another day in my world. Do i go home or do I stay and grin and bear it. How many sick days is my employer going to put up with anyway?

Everything is either annoying me or making me feel sad.... I also just realised the tablet I took from my doctor to help with Anxiety is Diazepam and I really didnt want to be taking that.

I gotta pick up the slack in the next few hours or face the wrath of those in charge. How do I stop thinking and feeling and get on with being a robot for 3 hours?

I'm here for ya, but be careful, I got on this site at 10 am this morning for a quick note, and this place has swallowed me whole, I have not been able to leave

still in my pj's at 4pm in the afternoon,
sorry

enough about me, how much more time until you have to get off?

can I ask what you do?

I only wrote what I did cuz if you want to get work done, this place isnt quite conducive to it, and I wanted to maybe make you smile

Somehow find the energy to just do it. Save your sick days for when you REALLY need it. Save it for a day that you cant pick your head off of the pillow or get sick with the flu or something. You are already there and just keep pushing. Good luck to you.

Dealing with depression at work is one of the most difficult things I think. Pick up one task, something you can do quickly without too much thought/concentration involved. Once you get that one thing done, look for the next quickest and easiest. Hopefully it will get you into a rhythm and tasks you need to accomplish, at least at work, will fall into place.

I cant say what I do, the company I work for is extremly secrative. But its fair to say I deal with a lot of complaints. I gota be here for another 3 hours then its Midnight and I can go home, to be hyperactive dog who wont let me sleep or have 5 minutes rest.

I'd hope they go quick cos I really want to get home and get some of that sleep business Ive been hearing so much about. But I need them to go slow because I have so much work to catch up on.

Oddly enough we have anti depressants for him. Now all we need is for the Bf to get given them by the doc and were a full house so to speak.

I think it must be. My mum has struggled with depression for as long as I can remember and my grandad has panick attacks.. the rest seem fairly ok though... I guess were just the black sheep.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
