OK, one thing at a time. Slow down and take a breath. In for 4, hold for 2 and out for 4, do that a few times. You are looking at to many things at once. It sounds as if your mind is racing.

Weight, I assure you, you will never weigh as much as me:oops:. 1000 calories is IMHO to few, you are setting yourself up for failure. Talk to your GP or practise nurse, be kind to yourself. You need to eat healthily but not obsessing about calories and fat.

OH took the lead from what my GP said. And my GP, listened to how I felt. Be firm about how much you can realistically manage. yes, your employer wants you back asap, but they have a duty of care for you to looked after. You can dictate your phased return. My employer wanted me back within 4 weeks, that was too soon for me. Your GP should have your back, work out together what is best and then tell that to OH. If you are in a union, speak to them as well.

My mind always races get no break from it. I've weighed myself again after a little 2.5 mile jog and ended up having bit of a binge eating 5 biscuits and packet snack jacks :-(. Need regain control dread scales in morning dreading it cause Sunday and roast day thought of Sunday dinner will pile pounds on. It's annoying it damn celexa got me like this cause heard so much about weight gain.

Will contact union next week and am gonna ask my gp her stance on work and disability act etc. Thanks Kp fir coming to rescue again just need an off switch for my brain and emotions.

Feeling really urgh today, feel stuck have no motivation to move not sure what I feel but it isn't good. Feel like going into mute mode and shutting self away this is just an existence I'm ok just feel crap. Tired making the effort to feel better when so many obstacles.
 
Be kind to your self Sazza. Allow yourself the day to rest and recover and nuture. Take life at the slowest pace and if that is staying in bed then allow yourself to do it.

I feel tired and will go for a nap shortly, I will not feel guilty about that, my body needs it and I deserve it.
 
Keep in mind that muscle weighs more than fat so if you are building any muscles up in your legs for example...
 
Just about go drop my notes at off docs and hope they read before Thursday as too long read in appointment. Feel bit better today so far feel nervous dropping notes at doctors as maybe things might not be as bad as were when wrote them last night. Just going bite bullet drop them off hope helps on Thursday feel vulnerable writing stuff down normally give gp and take back during appointment.

Feel like making mountain over nothing now things seem bit better today.
 
I think it's okay, all that stuff is important to know, event from event since you are currently kind of under close watch with the new medication, it will only help the doc decide what the next steps are for you.
 
Thanks game your right things change from minute to Minute at moment, all done now no going back just hope it's of benefit and gets read before Thursday. Feeling bit urgh again now iM not good at waiting and everything seems be waiting game at moment starting to churn up.
