Have discussed sleeping pills on a few occasions. I have preferred not to have them, as I feel I might be too tempted to take the whole lot in one go. Also, the doc said it might make my nightmares worse - no way I'm taking that risk - I'd rather stay awake!

I survived my first appointment with the therapist. She was straight talking and did not say she could cure me, but that she might be able to help me deal with things better. She also said that i'm probably going back to work too soon, but I knew that already! We did not discuss diagnosis and I think I am ok with that. If work want one, they can pay for me to go get one!

Work went ok. I didn't have to teach, so I just spent the morning tracking down my files from all corners of the earth and sorting through 200+ e-mails. I have yet to pick up my new timetable, but I already know I am teaching 6 out of 8 sessions tomorrow.

Going to collapse in a heap in front of the tv and then take the dog for a stroll. May also partake of some alcoholic beverage at some point.
