Just a quick update on where things are with me :)
Saw my GP yesterday, who has signed me off work for a week and prescribed me a course of sleeping pills. Eep. Never taken sleeping pills before, I always found the thought of them a little creepy - by hey, I am at the point of trying them now, so I'll give it a go. Feels weird to be off work so I'm trying not to think about it - I'm terrible for not taking sick time and just working through it - even my GP said I must be feeling pretty crappy if I let her sign me off (we've argued over signing me off before, with me refusing). So as long as I don't think about it, I guess it'll be OK.
I'm supposed to rest and hopefully let my sleep catch up with itself, but I'm also supposed to make sure I go out regularly and see friends - like she says, there's no point having time off due to anxiety attacks if I then lock myself in the house for a week and not see or speak to anyone. I'd hardly feel better about talking to people when I go back to work if I do that, would I?
On a cheerier note, I am again trying to fix my Pinnacle problems - hey ho. I received a new install disc from them, so am ready to run that soon and see what happens. I would so love to be making vids again - I used to spend so much of my free time doing that anbd I just loved it. So fingers crossed it works this time :)
Hope you all are happy and healthy :)
