Hi everyone.
Very recently I've been feeling extremely stressed and very emotional.
There has been lots going on over the past 10 years or so. Found out I couldn't have children, went through IVF, adopted 2 children both of whom have long term issues, lost my father to cancer at very short notice, looked after my mother who then died 18 months later, the list goes on.
Work is very demanding and I have a fairly senior position but I've gone from one issue to the next and just carried on. Recently though I had a very challenging work issue to deal with and I feel like it's the thing that's broken me. I'm very emotional and taking everything to heart. I like my job so don't necessarily want to change it especially as I am the breadwinner so my choices are limited.
I have made a gp appt but not sure whether to go or not as I feel like I am being overdramatic. I don't want to be signed off, and I don't want drugs, I just need to talk to someone, although not sure what they would be able to do for me. Im always the strong one, and don't want to feel like I'm a failure . I go from stress, at work to stress at home and I guess im just tired.....
Thoughts?
