I feel sick and im shaking, im so tired even though ive had enough sleep.
Im falling so far into the depression I dont even want to come out anymore and I have to go to work. I cant even stand up to tidy up and i'm snapping at people.

The fact that you can go to work is great... stick at that. I've gotten to the point where I never leave the house and it's making me worse. Keep yourself busy, it's the best thing you can do, because once you fall in to the trap of staying in and neglecting your resposibilities, it's just a downward spiral.

Give yourself a break honey, dont rush yourself, it only adds pressure. Do what you can and dont beat yourself up about the other stuff.

You taken some big steps this week, confronting the situation with your bf and going back to work, try to focus on the steps you've made and not the things you cant manage yet.xx

If you're really physically ill, call in sick, and relax.

Is you,re worried about calling in sick, go in to work and they will see you are not well and tell you to go home. That wayhey will know that you are genuinely ill. Physical symtoms can also arise from psychological illness, so if that is the case you may feel better once you are there, and because you are going in without the view of staying all day it might make getting there easier. If that makes sense!

I'm going in. I dont have a choice.
Life sucks and yet again everything I have worked for is coming crashing down around me. I wish I had the courage to just end it all.

It's not courageous to end it, it's courageous to fight. I hope your day improves but if it doesn't it wont be because of you, you are doing the right things, take strength from that. Good luck honey.xx

You have the courage NOT to end it which is even better. I agree with dizzycow, if you are too ill to work they will let you go home. Good luck!

    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...
