kronas hun - you wash your hands of that particular doctor, and make an appointment with a different one. Please don't feel you're beyond help - no one is and that includes all of us here. There are good doctors out there, don't give up hun; there is always help for you. Sazxxx

Hi all,

How are you all doing today? I'm not doing very well. I have seen the mental heath person and she has recommended medication and counselling for me. I am seeing the doctor on tuesday to get the prescription. She also said I should probably stay off for a few weeks til it kicks in, so I'll need to talk to the doctor about a sick note.
I emailed my boss to tell her and she sent me a lovely email saying I shouldn't worry and all I need to do is concentrate on getting better and who is now doing my job.

And it hurts so much. I just feel so useless and not needed at all. What if when I do go beck, they don't need me at all. Everyine is being so lovely and I'm just letting everyone down. I just feel I don't deserve such kindness.

I'm sorry to bother you all, but can I have a hug please?

Big hugs (((Pumpkin))) Just wanted to reiterate what everyone else said - that you are not useless and you are needed. I know it feels strange to think of someone else doing your job, but they wouldn't say they want you to concentrate on getting better if they didn't value you, or if they didn't think they needed you. Everyone deserves kindness, you included! Take care and get well, love Sazxxx

Hi Saz, Im just sore today now...sitting in bed with a hot water bottle, ive been a very good girl and (surprisingly) rested as instructed!! Still having a wee cry now and again - I think its relief that its behind me to be honest.

Well you keep following instructions and keep resting, otherwise you'll have Tiffy on your case!:):) Seriously though, there was probably a bit of anxiety building up to this week, so crying will be a release. No harm in that at all hun. All part of the recovery process.

I'm not too bad thanks, kind of you to ask though Carol. Had a very stressful week at work, so not planning to do much over the weekend, other than recharge the old Sazzy batteries!:) Sxx

recharging the batteries is the best thing after a stressful week...along with several hot candle lit baths :D You staying in and relaxing? or venturing out?

Ive got a gorgeous relaxing candle lit on the windowsill behind me...it smells delish!!

We are going to London on Thursday, so I have loads of reasons to take it very easy for the next few days.

Top tip re candle lit baths - may just do that. I must confess I have a very non-MSE addiction to scented candles. I say 'non-MSE' because in my experience the cheaper ones never seem to smell very much or for very long. Or is it just me?! Have a got a serious hankering for Jo Malone's candles... What does your candle smell of Carol? I love vanilla.

I'm probably not going to venture very far, tbh. May stop by my folks later this afternoon, see how I feel. And may meet up with a friend for dinner tomorrow night. Other than that, probably just mooching about the house, engaging with the idea of doing some chores (but not actually doing them of course, LOL)

Hope you enjoy your visit to London. If you need any info just give me a shout.

IM the same with smelly candles Saz, this is a partylite votive and is "unwind" kinda lavendery/vanilla...its gorgeous as are all of their candles inmho. I have never tried Jo Malone ones...always fancied them though...make have a wee looky on ebay!

Hubby is doing our chores to help me rest!! I may go for a lush bath later to soothe the aches!!

We are pretty organised for London...just got a few things to work out where they are!..the joy of the internet, most things can be booked etc before you get there now. I will keep your offer of info in mind though if thats ok
