Thanks, I stopped crying at about 8pm, which took my grand total to 53 hours of pretty much non stop crying!
I still feel completely on edge and my eyes fill with tears for no reason, but I've done a bit beter today. Decided to get out of the house and get the wind in my hair. So me and my OH went to a farm because I love animals. I had a great time, and for a few momens felt "normal". But then when it was time to leave I felt sick and teary again.
I keep rememinding myself that it's only 2 1/2 weeks til my work breaks up for christmas, surely I can manage such a short amount of time.
I'm definatley ringing the drs first thing tomorrow and begging for an appointment, will have to go to work tommorrow as I can't afford any more time off.

Doesn't sound to me as if you're ready to work. If you go to the doctors you might have a better chance of getting a quicker appointment.

Doesn't really feel to me like I'm ready to work, but I'm viewing it kind of like falling off a horse. Having not gone in friday, the longer I leave it, the harder it'll seem to be to go back.
Luckily my drs really good and I never strugle to get an appointment. Especially as the only urgent stuff at work tommorow is in the morning, so if I need to I can leave at lunch.

I agree that avoidance is generally a bad thing and it can create anxiety / fear about the activity but if you are genuinely not up to going to Uni / work etc. then it can make things worse. Particularly as most of us here are experts at beating ourselves up....

Tired tonight - going to watch Planet Earth and go to bed

Hug u all

Thanks Im fully aware that one can't switch it on and off, and it can take many years if at all to realise it neither can we see it,that we also have to try and help ourselves,but we can't see the way out of the tunnel to get well again,what I am saying is and we dont reallise or know how to help ourselves to do anything about it. No Im not on anything at all,it took over a year or two for me to get well again and the daily pressure s of life don't help,
i suggest you read it all again and try to read between the lines, have a nice day,:j

blinky, thanks for your reply your so right,and it's not easy by any means
, I was only giving my own personal view,but some can't see that,and I wasn't knocking anyone and Im not on anything at all not even booze or drugs,but T thinks it's funny for some unknown reason, have a nice day,

Well, it took me a couple of hours to fall aslep last night, then I woke up a 3 am and couldn't get back to sleep, so I'm not exacly feeling great. But I am determined to at least give it a try because I really do feel that if I don't go in today it'll build up to an even bigger scary thing in my mind.
Will ring doctors at 8am and ask for appointment this afternoon - fingers crossed.

Good Morning! (There I go with my personal opinion again!;) ),
Sending out massive Monday hugs to everyone.:grouphug: Can't post long so just some Tiffy bits until later.

Rose - hope you're ok hun - I know it's a struggle angel but you'll get there. I'm so proud of you.:T Tiffy hugs sent every day Rosie from everyone and me too. Take things slowly hun.

Blinky - Monday a.m. - doctors right hun? I hope you had a fantastic weekend away angel. Hopefully, you'll post and let us know how you get on with drs!;) It can never hurt just to check all alternatives can it Paul? Thanks for the cream.:rolleyes:

Hi Miro - how are you doing angel? Hoping you'll post us an update.;) Have you started your new job yet hun? Sending you Tiffy hugs too - I know you're having a hard time angel.

Hi CC - hoping your weekend went well hun? You're sounding a lot better than you were. Have you finished packing yet? - don't shout at me!;) Just want you to know I'm thinking about you angel.

Hi Sleepy - good luck with the drs hun. Crying is a physical release of emotional pain - your body does it to get rid of all those negative chemicals. You will stop crying angel so don't worry. We're all very good at that though aren't we hun? Accept all the support you can sleepy.

Hi Ethel - glad to see you posting again hun! You've been rushed off your feet haven't you? Like you said, just another week of Uni. If you need some support, just post angel - you know we're all here for you.;) Here's some hugs to get through the week.

Hi Saz - did you get up at all this weekend?!:rolleyes: And what have I told you about watching the X-F?!:wall: :rotfl: How are you hun? Thanks for the milk sazzy. What have you got planned for the rest of your time off angel? Hope you'll fill it with Saz treats! I just can't wait to read your omnibus edition of your post replies! :eek: You are so valued on here that you can have Tiff hugs too. Take care hun.

Huge hugs to the rest of the gang too - elona, betty, mrs a, gemini, et al. You all do such a great job here - thank you for your support too.:T
Here's hoping this week will be good to us all.
Much Love

Hi clearvisor. Welcome!
I don't know if I entered the twilight zone, but you quoted my post to miro and I'm afraid I don't understand what you mean. What is your reply trying to say hun? Would you be so kind as to enlighten me please? Thanks.
Best wishes,
Tiff
