Feeling depressed and low the last couple of days

So a day after work something hit me and felt really down and stressed. I didn't feel too bad at work just a bit anxious but I think spending 2 days not sleeping didn't help and I was very emotional and ended up crying a lot and feeling kind of helpless. I'm oing over to my mum and dads today so hopefully that might help and I've got an  appointment  with my GP tomorrow so I guess we'll go from there.

Pretty anxious the day after going back to work

So yesterday I completed my first day at work in 6 weeks and it was quite a long 10hr shift! And today I am left feeling quite anxious and a bit of an odd feeling, plus I had a really bad nights sleep. Hopefully as the day goes on I feel better.

Is this the end?

My 6 weeks off work has been one hell of a ride that's for sure! Lots of ups and Downs and at times i thought i was never going to get through it but think I'm on the road to recovery and it feels like I'm starting fresh as I'm back to work tomorrow.

The anxiety is still there but I have just got to accept it like I have been doing and move on..... the journey continues!

Update from the last few days

So the last week has been a bit hit or miss, I was starting to feel good but I think the fear of going back to work is getting to me and not sleeping great is also getting to me a bit too. I've been getting out and about but the anxiety levels in the day time have risen when they were getting a lot better.

On the flip side I have some CBT via the phone tonight so it will be good to talk to someone who understands about anxiety so I will post an update to let you know how I got on!

An odd day

So today started off quite bad with lots of anxiety about my meeting at work but now turns out i dont need to go to it. Then there was worry about bot sleeping enough but now im like "if i dont sleep enough... So be it" im not going to worry myself stupid over it considering ive done really well recovering in the last two weeks

Well tomorrow is another day and it will be a goid one!

More lack of sleep and Ambiscience didn't really work

So I was quite optimistic about the new Pure Sleep app I got to help induce deep sleep but after an hour and a half it didn't actually do anything, I had better luck going off to sleep with Jon Kabat-Zinn - Guided Mindfulness Meditation so I think I'll do that again tonight.

I've also switched the Sertraline to mornings again in the hope that it will help with sleeping, even though taking it at 6pm hasn't seem to had any effect on sleep in the last 2 or 3 weeks.
