MyPTSD Pro
After having my my complex ptsd come back at me hugely with frequent new flashbacks in the middle of 2020, I have been trying to 'soldier on'. The amount of stress has been putting pressure on my body and I have been suffering health issues constantly. After an operation at the beginning of this year, I had to then withdraw of opioids that I'd been taking for the pain up until that point. I managed to do that and went back to work but was very run down and tired. I have continued to get viruses and infections and the last infection required double antibiotics and has now left me with a painful problem with my joints. They are as yet unsure of the cause.
After all this, today I had to make the call. I had a meeting with my boss and told her I would have to take extended leave to let myself recover physically and mentally. It was not really something I wanted to do, I'd been fooling myself into thinking I would just get better. Now, this afternoon I feel pretty deflated. It's hard enough to manage the mental health side of things, but when my physical health is bad constantly I begin to feel so isolated from the world and sad.
