And I Am Off
I am off work now until next Monday, I had planned to take a couple of days off towards the end of the week but decided today I have had enough and had a word with my boss. I just told him I was very stressed due to the heavy work load and would need to take holidays effective immediately and he agreed. Already tomorrow has been taken up by bringing my mother to the hospital, she had a fall the other day, I arrived home from work to find he on the ground in the yard cut and bleeding. She is Ok but suffers from high blood pressure and she took a dizzy spell and blacked out, she was worried she'd broke her toe but it seems to be getting better so tomorrow will be just a check up.
I am looking forward to just waking up tomorrow knowing I don't have to get up even though Holly will still expect me to get up at the usual time she is one creature I have no problem getting out of bed for.
I was due to be going over to see a friend in Liverpool this weekend but as I have my future brother in laws stags in two week I decided to keep my money till then.

Hi John
it's great to hear that you were strong enough to approach your boss for time off when you so needed it. A change in routine and some space to yourself - just what the doctor ordered. Take this time to do something for yourself - and chill. x
Hi John,
I just found your site today.It is very insightful you have great courage.I cut.I am in a current active stage.I never realised there are others.
I am glad you are taking time off sounds like you really need it!I hope your Mum is doing better?
hi john,
im so glad you have done a blog on self harm, your very brave and have inspired me to do one. because im a self harmer to, and im only 12. xxx
Hello John i have just self harmed again. i have hit myself over and over in the face with a hammer until my cheek bone is very swollen and turning blue, all because i have to face my boss and senior rep on Monday coming and i am terrified. I have been on sick pay for 6 months due to anxiety/depression. My doctor knows about it all but i can't stop! i am dreading Monday with all my heart. Tina
TINA!!!! Ok...so I harm myself too. I can't even imagine how hard that must be. Hitting yourself in the face with a hammer. =[ Wow. And John. I am glad you have done a blog as well. I self harm myself and never have really thought to do a blog, but...I guess it sounds like a good idea. I think this is really helpful for those of us who are still having such a hard time. =[
Thank you. You are truely an angel
