Monday morning. Whilst it feels good to not be going in to work today, the leave does cause me some anxiety. I’m sure my classes will be fine without me so I don’t know why I’m so nervous about not being there.

I have a lot of appointments in the coming days. Seeing my counsellor on Thursday, my gp on Sunday and my psychiatrist the week after that. I’m grateful for the support but the expenses do add up, particularly with my counsellor who is very expensive every session.
