I’m in bed, heavy cold, bad chest and full of guilt as I’m not at work. I can’t even be bothered to log on remotely. The pressure in my job is intense, the workload is increasing and the team is being reduced by cuts.
I was bought up to be at work no matter what, but I’ve just given up. I couldn’t give a fuck today so I’m just lying here trying to stay positive and get better.
I just wanted to vent, I’m not in any risk of harming myself I just have to say it.
Thanks for listening. |

"You're ill, you're allowed time to recover. Don't feel guilty.
Get well soon
Thank you, I will x"
We're ill at the moment but being retired we don't have to worry about work or looking after small children. I do some of the care for my very elderly parents though and feel a bit bad that I can't get there. I also worried that I'd passed it on to them while I was incubating it. My mum just said that nobody gets ill on purpose and she's right  |

Had a minor stroke in November, working was fucking awful, father and son business and me. They argued all the time, it was not a nice experience, so when I had the stroke, I decided to walk away. Good for you I hear you say
Yeh? Well I can’t get a job for love nor money now...

She is right, you can only do so much to prevent the spread of it. I’m completely out of energy, just need to stop for once. |

I've been off recently with pain related to my disability. I hate leaving my work for others and I know a lot won't get done, but I've had to learn that I have to look after myself first and foremost. My employer is, fortunately, supportive. Hope you feel better soon. |

"Thank you all for your kind words today, hopefully back on my feet in a couple of days. "
you’ve found that good health over-rides many other considerations and things you once thought important. Get well soon.
