I work full time but it takes a lot of effort and there are times I think i should be at home under a blanket. I have in the past had to take long term sick (5 months) and i managed to go back. Its hard, i wish i was "normal" so to speak. People dont understand or appreciate mental health issues and i ahve a lot of them.

Part of what I do is write speeches and I opfen laugh at the thought of one of my aletrs writing a speech for a VIP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I need to be very careful not to lose the plot at work.
