Off work what do you do?

[kirgray]

Hi All,
I am going back to the docs today but got a feeling I will be signed off work as finding it very hard to cope with work at the moment.

Just wandering what to do on a daily basis, as Im so used to being busy at work but now off with anxiety should i give myself jobs to do or generally try and chill out? just dont want to end up watching tv all day as much as i would like to lol!

Hi
When I am off I try to give my day some structure by getting up at my usual time and doing some jobs around the house in the morning. I also try to take a walk every day and a nap in the afternoon. I have a rule of no TV before 6pm as I thinks it's an easy habit to get into.
I feel that I am doing something to get well by having a routine.

Reading is great. You can escape for a while in a good book.
