HI folks,
All time low for me now. I am off work (self cert til docs friday). My workload at work was the final straw. I just cannot begin to face it. (i also have to present to people even more terrifying). I have a boss - whom, on the face of it is supportive, but micromanages me, giving me lots more things to do than is necessary. (ive talked to her about it to no avail).
Ive been off loads over the year and have never really got to grips with anxiety/depression, particularly health anxiety.
My poor suffering wife does her best to understand and tries to support, we have a little one to look after and so our relationship is at breaking point at the moment;arguments etc. Her folks live down the road and they think i need to be "getting on with it" and supporting my family. They are daily visitors to our house.
On top of all this i have nowhere to go for respite, no friends around in particular, apart from a couple of acquaintences.
Finally my mum, a sufferer of alzheimers, is going into a home fairly soon and im a little upset about that, we are not close, but shes still my mum.
Im currently suffering with chronic headaches and am trying to figure that out before i start on Prozac (which the doc suggested), i have a bad record with SSRIS so i dont know whether it will help. Something has too because i dont know what else to do.
Work havent mentioned warnings yet, but i know its in the offing, i cant afford to lose my job!:weep:
