    Glad it was good even though your colleague was there.
    Do a little of something that makes you happy every day!

    I did nearly go home but we were tucked away in a corner. It'd just the stigma and guilt . It gets to me . Surely if you well enough to have lunch with your family, you are well enough to work . No one knows what's happening on the inside or the fact you overcame anxiety to do something they find easy. Nights are really hard . I'm sleeping but often can't drown out the negativity and cry . And I get scared. I do eventually calm down but my mind races .

    Can you try things like meditation to try to help?

    My distraction technique is podcasts that I listen to. They seem to help. It's in the gap that the thoughts come . Also they come more now because of my guilt with being off . I do some deep breathing too and this helps . Thanks I will try .

    How about audio books of an evening when you can’t aleep too? Headphones in eyes shut listen and then nod off? Hope tomorrow is a better day

    Good shout Niffler. I'll get some downloaded . Tomorrows tough as I talk to my boss who won't have seen this coming . As I said I'm good at acting like I'm ok but at huge cost . Thanks for stopping by .

    I listen to the radio/watch movies/read/craft which helps me drown out stuff - have you tried any of those?

    Radio and podcasts are my drowning out preferences . I can't concentrate to read at the moment . A shame as I'm a bookworm .

    Anxiety at 10 just now and very little sleep as I have to phone my boss. I'd rather not .

    I can’t read when I’m low, my concentration is zilch. Like you, I’m a bookworm - this disease always seems to hit out at what/who we love most. But that will return, I promise

    Hope your boss’s response is positive
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.
