[QUOTE="Trixy83, post: 796455, member: 162941"] I was just wondering how others cope. I've only been diagnosed less than 2 months so it's still all very new to me and despite being 90% better than I was I am still not fully under control and have my ups and downs. Not looking for sympathy but when I factor in I'm a single mum to a toddler, that I have about an hours drive to get to work in the first place and have quite a stressful demanding job, work right now just isn't my priority, my health and getting better is. I've learned over the years that where work is concerned I'm just a number, it will be around long after I am so if I need a bit of time to get myself better then they should just have to deal with it. As it is I'm now at my desk so I've troopered on, this time, but I see no shame in it one day I'm really struggling saying I just can't do it. As much as I'd love to be I'm not superhuman, im a mere mortal and I have my limits. Getting healthy and being a mum are my priorities. [/QUOTE]
