If possible just try and focus on things minute by minute rather than looking and thinking about what's to come.
Thinking of you *hug*

How are you feeling today? Have you had any progress with work counselling? Have you booked another doctor's appointment?
Simplest thing - have you had a hug from anyone?
I'm just really teary and trying desperately to hold it together but failing miserably!
If I get a chance I'm going to phone the work one today...not sure what to do on the GP front...
Nope...no hugs today...just supposed to be back to normal now apparently...
It's also probably not much comfort, but the bit after an anniversairy has definitely sometimes been harder for me than the day itself. At least on the day there's usually someone in your life who has some clue that things might be less than great and is looking out for you. What they don't seem to consider is that the date clicking over on the calendar doesn't magically make everything better again and you're left to deal with the after math on your own.
Did you get to the pub for lunch yesterday? How was it? If you didn't, hope you got something suitable to make up for it.
I know I've mentioned it before, but splurging at a live person can sometimes be massively helpful. Your GP doesn't sound like the kind who can help there, but Samaritans phone line might be good (depends slightly on who you get) or your uni might have a listening service (different to the counselling service).
Hugs.

(On an unrelated note, the sun is shining where I am, that's pretty much headline newsworthy).
It definitely is really hard...I still feel like I'm literally reliving the whole of last year all over again...its so hard and so draining.
Yep we went to the pub...I didnt eat because I just felt sick from nerves and I practically cried my way through the whole thing because I just felt kind of disrespectful to him but I appreciated the support from the team.
I really dont feel comfortable talking to the samaritans on the phone and the bill is checked...I know I could ask them to call me back but I just feel awkward...I also didn't get a chance to call the work people about counselling again as their was no private office available due to training courses and meetings being held...but I might be able to early next week or they may have called me back by then.
I'm very jealous of your sunshine! Cold and cloudy here! xx

Rest is good for you - how would you feel about the doctor signing you off for a bit? Mental health is a very valid reason for sick leave.
To be honest I would welcome it but I wouldn't know how to approach it with my GP and my work wouldn't be too happy. They have offered me two weeks study leave but I can't afford to take so much time off unpaid - at least with a sick note I would be paid.
Sure, work are never happy, but they need to care about employee mental health as well. It's better that you have a short time off now than a long time later.
:yes:
