Today is the 2nd day I havnt been able to work due to this feeling like a literal weight on my chest. Im Feeling pretty deflated and have been struggling to eat, I've booked in to see a psychologist tomorrow and am getting a heart monitor on. I was wondering if there's anyone who can also relate to the physical symptoms of stress. 🙂

@meegan1

I have had stressful times and it can show up in many ways i have missed work then it seems to increase the variety of symptoms that is when I know I  am only adding to the situation....

honestly felt worse about losing money/ maybe angering co-workers/ boss then if i just pulled myself up and went....

i look at it this way ... if i had diarrhea ... i would not take a laxative and expect it to help .......if i had a wound i would not dig deeper or extend a  the  cut   ......expecting it to heal faster..

yet when it comes to mental health so many do things like avoidance, postpone treatment  or hiding ,,,,that only intensifies feelings and compounds issues   .....At least in my world ....
