| | Notices | Welcome to PTSD Forum. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a life threatening, debilitating disorder that can break down a sufferer’s body through anxiety and stress. Further it poses a significant suicide risk resulting from the brains neurological imbalance and chemical depression. Sufferers often live in denial, thus this community is aimed at helping PTSD sufferers help themselves through others experiences, guidance and education. We are here for the sufferer, spouse and families surrounding PTSD. Spouses and family are too often forgotten in this equation, and often they receive all the worst that PTSD has to offer. If you're involved in any way with PTSD, get registered and help yourself now. Non-active members will eventually be deleted. If you are not a sufferer, carer or someone within the mental health industry, and active, then there is little reason for you to be a member of this forum. Non-active members with zero posts are deleted periodically during the year. |  |

| |  Insomnia - I Doubt Work Is On The Agenda Today
It's 3.30am and the chances of getting any sleep soon are rapidly dimishing as are the chances of feeling fit enough to get for work in the morning. Someone please tell me it's OK for me to miss out on work? I feel horribly guilty about missing days or bits of days but I know I need to rest. Stress is taking its toll on my mind and body, I'd be a gibbering wreck at work. |

I think it's okay to miss work, definitely. Stress is a kind of illness too. I know what you mean about feeling guilty, but I would still ask for time off if I were you. Even one day would probably help. |

Thanks. I have had the odd day off here and there before, but not consecutive days. Maybe I should try that. There's nothing worse than forcing yourself to go to work or stay at work when you feel terrible, on the verge of tears, etc. :crybaby:I think I'm fatigued, I feel exhausted mentally but I'm still stressed out and unable to sleep.

It's 5.47 am, I've been sitting here for two hours without noticing the time pass. I'm off back to bed to warm my feet up :) | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes |  Linear Mode |
