Hope everyone is having a good day.

I have struggled for the last few days.Pain is a little better this morning, having slepton and off for 3 days.

I feel very anxious about what people at work are thinking and saying about me while I am not at work. I try really hard to go to work and not to talk about as I feel people

You know what? Stuff people if they are going to say nasty things about you. Chances are they won't even be talking about you. If they are? It's only because they're jealous of how awesome you are.

Don't want to hear sad news . They have ther own worries.

Has any one got any thoughts of how I can deal with this.The anxious feeling takes away my confidence.

Thanks Mace223

Honestly take no notice because like my place of work, they will talk about someone one day and it will be someone else the next!! Just look after number one is what I say x

Hi Mace

You should NOT worry about what people are saying about you in your abscence.  You have NOTHING to worry about so be happy and calm and don't let it get you down.  People only talk about others in their abscence because they have nothing better to do.  If they are just let them carry on as if they don't have the courtesey to speak with you and ask you directly they are NOT worth the worry.  Just be yourself and think of your own well being.

Take a day at a time Mace and stay positive  x

You know mace223 I understand how you feel. I am really hyper sensitive and I couldn't stand it that I felt this way. I feel for you because this is a terrible feeling. I was wondering if your a bit like me In seeking others approval a lot and I just  wanted to tell you that I got help from a book called "Approval Addiction" Now it is written by a lady call Joyce Meyer who is a Christian but her books are great another one is"Life beyond your feelings"and " Managing  your emotions" they can be downloaded on a kindle or bought from amazon I hope that I have been off some help, you sound like a lovely person who shouldn't be feeling this way and I'm not a sales rep or anything like that just want to help xxx

Well that's her problem not mine.Thanks to everyone you gave me the courage to go forward, even when you are in pain.hugs and happy thoughts. X

Well Done to Mace.....So proud of you. That one person is NOT worth the worry.  Tomorrow will be an even better day.  x

Hi everyone

Once again thank you to everyone, your a set of Angeles. Best to you all x

Hi Mace, I haven't contributed to your post, but have been following it. I'm so glad you are feeling better and are managing to cope with work. It's always difficult to return to work when you've been off for a while. I have now had to stop work altogether, having had to give up nursing, and then a temporary post as a part time ward clerk, which I enjoyed, but in the end, could no longer manage. Everyone on this forum is so caring, and make you feel so supported. Sleep well tonight and have another good day tomorrow. 👍x

Hi Mace

Thats a good thing Arwen said ' deep breathing' thats how I cope with people.I am not at all good with lots of people, I always think they are talking about me; they are probably not though. You are doing very well if you are holding a job down, good on you. I don't work, I have no energy. Just stuck at home all day looking through the window, no visitors, so boring. To pass the time I come on here daily, and see all my friends. Have a good day.
