Hi @Cookie42 - Welcome to the forums!
Sounds like it's a tough night for you, I hope you can find the forums a safe space for sharing more about yourself. What do you find helps when you're feeling this way?
I saw earlier you like reading, are you reading anything at the moment?

Hi @Cookie42
I'm so sorry to hear that things are rough at the moment. Things are always compounded when we're physically unwell too. It's the last thing you need!
I wanted to let you know that I have moved this discussion topic to an area where it will be easier for others to find.
Don't be too hard on yourself - it sounds like your body needs a rest. Once that passes, it might be a better time to tackle the emotional stuff.
Did your GP give you something to help with your physcial symptoms?

Well I'm glad you're taking the time you need to rest. Snuggle up with a hot drink, paracetamol and maybe a good TV show as a distraction?
