O/T Have been signed off work

No need to feel like an idiot. I asked the OH if he thought I should dig out my antidepressants and go back on them for a bit...he was just thrilled that I recognised my moods and how down I've been feeling and based on that alone he said I didnt need to take tablets.

Now that I am off work I'm starting to wind down a little, i even did some singing today which is pretty unheard of!!!

enjoy the time off that you've taken, do YOU things, not wedding things... i've been trying to get into town for the last 3 hrs to do me things but its not happened yet lolol

huggles xx

Oh SG.

If I remember correctly you've suffered a bereavement in recent months and I'm sure that news coverage of other events has probably not helped, so I'm not surprised that you've been feeling the way you have.

If help is being offered to you take it. I can't stress that enough.

Take care of yourself x

hey i hope you feel better soon - like teehee said time the time off and have some YOU time.

wish you the best hun xx

I really hope you start to feel better soon. Hopefully the time off work will do you the world of good!

I went through a stage a few months where I thought I was going to have to see my doctor. I really felt like I was having panic attacks - my heart would race so fast I thought it would burst out of my chest and I would get hyper-stressed about such little things. I have felt much better lately, I think a lot of it was the stress of my dad not being well on top of the wedding, but I occassionally think I should perhaps see someone anyway.

You certainly shouldn't feel like an idiot. I think we all try to be superwoman and sometimes we just can't. Try to take it easy, maybe catch yourselve some rays of sun, and sending you lots of feel better soon vibes x

Poor you, i have to take 'happy pills' to treat chronic mood swings related to pmt so i know how crappy it is when your feeling really down. Hopefully a week off especially in this sunshine will do you the world of good, if not go back and see what they can do to help. Dont be to hard on yourself have a rest and look after yourself.

Take care

Oh m'darlin ? (btw <-- this is a strictly non fluffy, pat on the shoulder you'll be fine type of hug dontcha know ?) why on earth would you feel like an idiot?!

nowhere near in the same sort of vein, but i've been feeling panicky too - so much to do, so little time to do it, and nothing that i can really put off.

just take some time out of work to relax, look after yourself, enjoy some time with SB in the sun. why are you not taking the 7 days? it means you need it. don't worry about wedding stuff - the wedding will happen, and it will be perfect. you and SB married.

take care lovely x

Hi SG

Just wanted to say make the most of this time to yourself, don't feel bad about it, take the space and let your head sort it's self

x

Don't feel like an idiot, we all find it difficult to cope sometimes. Just look after yourself chick.

Ohhhhh SG - I wondered where you were...(also, for that matter - where's Shoegal?!)

Have a big hug from me and my puddy cats ?

I'm not really sure what to say other than try and relax and take it easy. Maybe you should have the full seven days off. Book yourself in for a massage and have some "me time".

x

Thanks everyone. Perhaps I am not a complete loser who can't handle work + wedding stuff. It's so stupid, it's not like I've got much wedding stuff left to do, if any at all!

x

SG - hush now with all this stupid and loser and idiot shyte.

I won't have it.

That is all

Mrs SP xx

Awww SG, you're not being an idiot at all. I don't think people realise how stressful all this wedding planning is, and how it can take it's toll on you.

Take it easy for the next few days ?

Sorry to hear this SG. You aren't being daft at all - sounds like you have had a super busy / emotional time of yet and your body & soul needs to kick back, enjoy the sun and get those batteries topped up. I'm sure you will be back to form in no time at all!

Just wanted to say, I don't think you're being silly at all!

Big hug and hope you start to feel yourself again very soon xxx

SG, you're not being silly at all. We all sometimes need time to rechardge our batteries and it's your time now... please take the whole 7 days, rest and have a bit of you time.

Take care babe

Awh mate, I knew you were finding it all a bit tough, but in a good way at least your the doc is seeing that you need to love yourself for a bit (and I don't mean that in a dutty way smothered in galaxy choc watching a smoochy flic...ahem TMI)

I'm ALWAYS around for a chatette...we can talk about nice things like rubbish songs and sweets from the olden days.

WEES take some time to do you things, if it needs to be weddingy, do one thing a day...no more. AND don't worry about work, they'll cope and would rather you felt better than pushing yourself to the limit.

Kissy Kissy and i really wanna see some pic-twars of the weekend ?

Nope, not taking it at all that you're stupid or being an idiot or whatever else it was you said you were! Everyone has moments where they can't cope with something or things get a bit too much and if you've been signed off then you should make the most of it, rest up and get a few, small bits weddingy bits done when you can. Enjoy the nice weather!

Hope you're feeling more yourself soon x

You're not being stupid at all, you're just normal.

Make the most of your time off, if not it's only likely to lead to more time off after. Take care of yourself SG, and don't be shy to post.

Thanks again for your messages, it means so much.

I've just been on the phone to a best friend for ages and i feel so much better for talking about things and to know that I'm not going insane

x

So sorry to hear you are feeling rubbish SG... good to hear that you have made the first step to feeling better and going to the docs.

As EES take it easy before going back to work, take care.

SG - a few points if I may

1) Dont feel silly for being signed off !!- WP can be a tough task especially when you have a job like yours that demands alot of your time and energy. I'd say you have done v well to come this far without doing a britney and shaving all yer hair off ?

2) Where are the pics from the weekend ?

3) As someone who take AD's - they are not always a solution to the problem - more a quick fix to the way you are feeling IYKWIM? Sounds to me like you know what is best for you and by going to the docs you have taken back control of the situation - Either way -please continute to lean on hitched for support

4) HUG

5) I second what Mrs SP & TD said!

XXXXXXXX

Take all the time off and just concentrate on getting better and relaxing. Theres totally nothing silly about that!

Hope that you are feeling much better soon and sending you a huge hug xxxx

Now you know me, I don't do the sugar coating.

If the doc said you need 7 days off, then you take them!

Otherwise I think all the hitchers will be round to make you stay home!

Seriously - you get better, you hear?

A xxx
