Thanks for your support guys - it means a lot. Saw the GP. He's written me another sick note for 2 weeks, but put on it that I can work part-time. He thinks it's a good idea to go see the private doc if I can afford it.

Saw one of my work colleagues today. Apparently my lessons for Monday are already covered, so maybe the start back won't be as bad as I fear. You can probably tell, I'm feeling a little more positive right now. Must be the lettuce I ate at lunchtime (or the chocolate I ate just after.....).
