The war..

I feel totally overwhelmed and terrified by the news. It has got to the point that every time I look out the window my brain convinces me I will see the glow from a nuclear explosion.

I try to avoid the news as much as possible but the trouble is I work in an office full of ex public servants who talk about it all day long and there is no escape for me. Im really struggling

I think it would be a good idea to talk to your boss tell him you need to take some time off work, tell your boss that you feel overwhelmed by what is happening with the War. Then see if your doctor can sign you off work. Then try to take your mind off the new by doing your favourite things. Hope that helps.

Thank you. The trouble is I have only just come back to work after 2 months being signed off with my mental health. Ive been on a managed return 3 days a week and this is only my second full week back and now all this has happened. I dont know what to do

I agree about doing my  favourite things, that really helps. I just dont always have the strength to make myself do something positive

I’m glad to of helped
