(((((medicated))))))

Hope you had a good nap and start to feel much better soon.

I know I don't know your situtation but I can so relate to thinking I can't afford time off to take care of myself. Unless I am physcially unable to move I push myself onward. I lost my career because I wouldn't take care of myself when I needed to. Things did get worse when I pushed myself too hard. I don't expect to ever be well enough to return to full time work. I think if I had listened to my body and my doctor when it mattered I would still have my career.

If you had the flu would you still go to work? Why is it we don't treat mental illness with the same care we do other illnesses? Just wondering. Maybe you can rethink the best option for you right now and consider taking a few days to stabilize in peace and quiet. Trying to function while unstable could royally mess with your life.
