I'm really worried about going back to work tomorrow. Mam and dad came up yesterday to take me out for lunch, see my great auntie, make sure I hadn't chucked myself out of a window, copy files off my PC, the normal stuff. I still didn't feel great when they left, but they advised me on what I need to do and say tomorrow. I went to The Peacock Lounge in Hudd last night, for my friend Gail the Brownie leader's birthday. It was nice, very classy (they have table service!!) and there was a swing jazz band playing. I had to drive home after though, so I was on the cocarola all night, and was reeeeally tired when I finally got back home about 1. =S
Today, I've just felt tired and on edge. I burst into tears when I dropped my (half price) chocolate sundae when I got back from Morrisons, then I left my car lights on (again!) and the battery's flat. My dad's driving up from Leicester at the moment to restart my car, as my breakdown cover doesn't include homestart. I feel so guilty about him having to do that, and about how much I've been leaning on my parents really. I'm really wishing I wasn't so far from home, I just have no one at all in Barnsley I can call on when something goes wrong.
My mum rang just now and I've told her how scared I am about tomorrow. My stomach's in a big knot and I just feel awful. I've made a doctor's appointment for Tuesday and I'm partly relieved and partly scared about that. I'm scared that they're not going to take me seriously and think I'm just a hysterical girl who cries at everything for no reason. But I spoke to my mum about it, and even she seems to think it's a good idea to get checked out as it's gone on so long, and this is the second bout of whatever this is, I've had. I did a 'diagnose-it-yourself' test on NHS direct which said it was likely I had some form of depression. I know you shouldn't rely on them too much but it does seem to make sense. I'm not just going to the doctor's to get him to wave a magic wand and make me happy again, I just want some direction on what to do.
Sorry for all the winging at the moment, I'm just quite lonely in Barnsley and LJ always listens.
