This morning I woke up and just felt like I can't cope with anything. I am constantly fearing my husband leaving me no matter how much he says he loves me.

I feel like I am a burden and worthless. I fear that his family judge me and I can't trust anyone.

I'm seeing the psychologist at the day hospital today and I am nervous about letting all the pain out and trying to deal with it even though I know I have too.

I also have an appointment with my works occupational therapy department next Tuesday and I'm afraid. I have organised a MIND mental health advocate to come with me so at least I'm not going on my own. I don't know when I will be well enough to go back to work and I feel like I'm no good to them anyway.

I feel l like my fear and sadness controls me. I wish there was a button where I could just turn my emotions off.

I don't know what to say except that I know how you feel. I'm sorry you're struggling so much right now.
Thanks for this!

Thanks guys,

Session with Psychologist was painful but useful. I feel I need to face some of my fears and avoidant behaviours so the emotions stop controlling me so much!

Sometimes I just wanna hide away like a hermit!

With regards to work I just don't know when I will be better to go back. I know I am going to ask for a phased return. Yesterday I spent a lot of the afternoon and evening crying and not wanting to go out with my husbands family cos I felt they might judge me and dislike me.

I did go out though and managed ok so I am facing things day by day.

I wish I could just turn off my feelings!!!!!

Day one of facing a tough week, already had a cry and told my husband I was useless, he of course disagreed.

Have to see doctor in the day hospital, it feels like going to the headmaster! I just want to know when and if I will be referred for therapy. I am scared to leave the day hospital and have nothing to support me.

This evening my husband is helping me prepare for my appointment with Occupational Health at work. I just don't know when I will be well enough to go back.............its all so confusing but I don't want to lose my job.
