I’ve had a rough few months. I had a family bereavement in May, and my mother has been unwell for a while and was recently diagnosed with cancer. I work on the ward where she’s due to receive treatment and have been struggling to work, so have had to go off sick.
this has been ongoing for a while. At the start of June I was sent home from work, I couldn’t work and I was struggling to do so. At the moment I’m still off work and due to be until August. Every time I look in the mirror, I feel like I don’t recognise myself anymore. I feel like I’m not me.
I started counselling last week but it was awful. I’m due to have another session today but I don’t really want to go to it, even though I know I have to. I’m so fed up of everything. I’ve been terrible at replying to messages and tend to leave everyone on read. I’m so tired.
