Re: Tips for dealing with Anxiety and Panic
Hi All,
I have been sufferling really badly with anxiety recently. Mainly over obsessing over sleep and the feelings it gives me. It caused me to take time off work and I'm likely going to be signed off for a while. I started Zoloft because i really want something to help long term, and I'm at the point where I must try.
Anyway as I am currently off work at the moment. This is now my third day, I will miss my friends stag day on Saturday, which is fine. I want some time to adapt, and some time to recover. I think this is fair.
Anyway my doctor suggested i be signed off from next week, but this is the weekend of my friends wedding. I said to my wife that I'd prefer to get the bus to the wedding, see the ceremony, have a drink or two, then come home maybe in the evening. I said as I'm likely off work, it would look bad, and I don't think I want to be there all day.
She said she would just stay with her friends who will be there. When I say her friends, i mean one and I understand that. Her friend might need company.
Is this fair, or should she come with me? I am highly paranoid that with me leaving early, I get judged by others for not being there with my wife. Where if we left together, it wouldn't look quite as bad on me.
Can I have some honest opinions here?
