Jetlag takes about a week to settle I'm told, and I'm sure there's son Celtic wisdom to get over your post viral fatigue How's WH coping with his obcessive routines while travelling? A challenge I would think 😕 Hope this is a time yo rekindle some first love maybe.
Any good churches to visit there? Did you go this morning? Love ancient architecture and history. Churches are great for it. Hugz xox

Re: Far and Away

Trying not to think about it today @MDT Behind in what I need to do but can't help that. Will see what is needed on Wednesday then go from there.

Re: Far and Away

Yeah. Usually thinking about it and dwelling on it can make us feel bad about it.

I have every confidence you will bounce into it well just like you did when you went back to work previously my friend.

The nerves and anxiety are part and parcel. But you have taught me a lot about balancing that out and remembering how to combat it or even just do whatever you have to do despite it.

I believe in you my friend @Zoe7

Re: Far and Away

Hi @Zoe7 ....

The symptoms you have described are the same as what I have experienced before - diagnosed at hospital as a psychosomatic response to stress after all the “clearance” tests were done, and came up clear.

I needed to slow down and rest, and the symptoms cleared.

Part of my insurance against repeats of that (and it has happened again when high stress events occur) was to start investing in a higher level of self care, such as the massages, painting my nails in soothing colours, coffee shop coffees, etc.

I hope this helps, whether what you have experienced is the same or not.

Hugs and hugs .... 💜🐬🦋🌷💕

Re: Far and Away

Thanks @MDT Now taking this week as it comes and doing very little. It can all wait - has to - my health is more important ...and I need to be okay to start back next week.

@Faith-and-Hope Yes it was likely part that and part exhaustion. I have been getting more and more stressed about going back to work as well as overdoing it - sleep has not been great - so making a real concerted effort to get those routines back in line, take meds at the same times each day (been getting later and later with those or forgetting altogether) and recovering this week. Self care is definitely on the cards this week. I do need to go into work but that could actually help me before I go back next week. I will be able to see what I need to do in the classroom and will still have Thursday and Friday to go back in if I need to. I don't plan to be there all day Wednesday - more a visit to get familiar with the school a little more and know what I need to organise in the classroom - think that will make me feel a little better about starting there.

How did you go with your attachments opening and email response Hon. Was very much thinking about you tackling all that and the stress of it all.
