Hi again,
I’m going to try not to post again after this, please read my previous posts if you want more background.
I just feel like this needs a fresh post, although I appreciate all the comments so much on the other posts and I am taking everything on board <3
I think I need to call in sick tomorrow, do you think that’s a good idea? Or should I tell them the truth of why I’m not going in? I need to be up at 5am if I’m going in, and I’m not going to lie, I’ve had a few glasses of wine and I feel like shit and I don’t think I can face it. I’m not going to over do it, but I can’t face work tomorrow. They can’t sack me can they for phoning in sick twice in a week?? Because that’s the last thing I would need right now :(

I need to accept that my ex has been heartless towards me and that I need to move on. I just can’t understand how this time last week everything was perfect and so happy and I loved him and my job and my life, only to end up how I am now. Struggling so much 60 miles away on my mums sofa at 27 years old. I just can’t cope with it.

sorry for so much posting xxx

Girl go to work you need the distraction, it's okay to have a few days to be sad but you can't let this take over your life.

Spend time with friends, distract yourself. Read a book called the feminine energy guide by Niki Kinsella and find the love you deserve in yourself. You have got this!

Best of luck whatever you decide to do, OP. It does get better, I promise you. Flowers

I had to live on my own at the same age (also a break up which I instigated but didn't want to but felt I had no choice)and thought I'd never cope. I did and it was all OK.
Does seem like it now but things will get better. Its just a blip.
Try to keep going into work. It'll normalise things and help you move on, stop you from crumbling. Suddenly it'll just be better. You need the distraction. You could explain your situation to work at a later date if it helps with possible lateness etc and maybe they'll give you a bit of leeway whilst you sorting out accommodation.
If you feel you can't face it tomorrow, could you ring in saying you don't feel brilliant but that you feel bad about it being twice in a week so could you take it as annual leave instead? Then make sure you have an early night and make sure you go in the next day. Stay off the alcohol for a while. The answers never at the bottom of a bottle and I mean that kindly. Be strong. You're young. I don't think they could sack you for twice in a week. Sometimes people go back to work too early after a bout of sickness and relapse anyway.
