Just want to tell somebody that I finally admitted today to the GP that I needed help and am suffering with my mental health.

It felt good to actually say out loud how I felt after a couple of months of me not wanting to admit that I am suffering.

That's really good. It starts the journey to better health

Thank you. The first step is the hardest and now off work for a week to help

I am doing ok being kind to myself eating healthy and having half hour walk every day.

But the anxiety has kicked in about going back to work on Wednesday.

I have gone back to work on reduced hours and I am struggling of which I am ashamed to admit I just think I am useless and rubbish at my job I just want to hide away from the world but I am a single parent and need to work. But I am so sad and lay awake at night worrying.
