Re: Bad day today

Hi @Cookie42 - Welcome to the forums! 

Sounds like it's a tough night for you, I hope you can find the forums a safe space for sharing more about yourself. What do you find helps when you're feeling this way? 

I saw earlier you like reading, are you reading anything at the moment?

Re: Bad day today

I cant getting into reading. I cant concentrate. This is doing my head in. I didnt go to work today and havre tomorrow of. Went to the doctors and said i have a cold which i do. I have a headacheci cant get rid of and body aches and sore throat and just sleep for hours. I am just very sad

Re: Bad day today

Hi @Cookie42

I'm so sorry to hear that things are rough at the moment. Things are always compounded when we're physically unwell too. It's the last thing you need!

I wanted to let you know that I have moved this discussion topic to an area where it will be easier for others to find.

Don't be too hard on yourself - it sounds like your body needs a rest. Once that passes, it might be a better time to tackle the emotional stuff.

Did your GP give you something to help with your physcial symptoms?

Re: Bad day today

No just to rest and panodol and i have another day off tomorrow coz i knew i probably wont feel like it.

Re: Bad day today

@Cookie42
Well I'm glad you're taking the time you need to rest. Snuggle up with a hot drink, panadol and maybe a good TV show as a distraction?

Re: Bad day today

Ok so i am still sick coz over the wkend i drank way to much and ending up punching a wall but it has made me realise i need to stop drinking for abit until i can control my feelings. Had therapy today which is always hard and i hate but i go every fornight and i get that it will help in the end

Re: Bad day today

@Cookie42
Stopping the alcohol will really help with your mood control, in the long run.
I found I couldn't keep my depression under control when I drank. And then the more depressed I got, the more I drank. It's a cycle.
Can you have a few weeks off the grog? Then see how you feel.
