My husband is leaving me. Found out 8 days ago (Sunday). I had to leave work on Monday because I couldn't stop crying and then didn't go in Tuesday. Went back Wed & Thurs but came home again Thurs PM and wasn't in Fri.
I have barely stopped crying since he told me. I hurt, physically & emotionally. I can't sleep properly and can't concentrate on anything for more than 10 minutes.
I'm in work today after telling myself I had to come in or it would look really bad, but I have spent all morning hiding the fact that I am crying, and not really being able to do anything productive.
I feel absolutely broken and hopeless and crap. I just want to hide in bed until I feel more able to face the world. Would a Dr sign me off for this? Is it reasonable? I don't know, I've not had my heart broken before - how do people cope and go into work as normal? This is too fucking hard.
