Hi everyone. I am so scared about going back to work this week. I just feel like I can't cope with it. I know that I should try anyway and all of that positive stuff. But it is not helping. I just feel like I can't cope. It's not like I work much, but it feels like I am carrying a big load around. I feel as though I am dragging myself through life and everyday is just a day closer to when I collapse under the pressure. I need encouragement I suppose. I just wanna give up. I feel so much pressure. I don't know how much more I can take. I don't want responsibilities anymore. I just want to hide away.
Any words of advice for me? |

Like pat said. One minute at a time. Try and not look ahead at the "I can't stop from eventully breaking under the pressure". Try to focus on right now. Right this minute. At the moment you don't have much control of the future, but you have some control over this minute. You're okay right now. You arn't crumbling under the pressure at this moment. If you know you are going to be okay for the next 5 or 15 minutes, tell yourself that. "I know I am okay right now, I know I am going to be okay for the next 5 minutes." If you can, you can also tell yourself that "it's okay that I don't know how I'll feel in the future. But for right now I am ok."
I hope this helps some ((((((((((((((hugs)))))))))))))

Thanks for taking the time to write guys. I remembered what you said about just thinking about small amounts of time. It has helped me a bit I think. I will try to remind myself of that more often. I'm still dying a thousand deaths in here. Eeek!

Not sure if you have a private office or cube. If private, close the door when you need to shut the world out for a moment in time. If not private - is there a place to go just to clear your mind?
