Hi all
So just looking for a bit of advice. Over the past year I’ve gone through a period of huge change. I left my job, relationship and moved to another part of the country. My job job doesn’t fulfil me and despite working with lovely people I feel I’ve lost who I am and my confidence and feel quite isolated. On top of that I’ve developed an obsession with my weight - counting calories, restricting then binging.
I see a therapist who helps a lot with past trauma, and on the outside to anyone it wouldn’t look like I’m struggling at all. I can manage my job, my flat, car yet feel like I spend a lot of my time not liking myself and crying and longing for what used to be a couple of years ago.
For a while I’ve felt like I need to sign off work just to come home and get a sense of who I am again. Not saying home would be the answer though, as there’s a lot of grief from my old life there, but just wish I could feel normal again.
Not sure what to do or if any of the above warrants me getting signed off? My therapist says I’m in a very confusing place at the minute as my energy isn’t fully in the new place nor at my home.
Any advice would be helpful! X
