Thanks to Steve and Ian for their comments. I appreciate the thoughts.

Today I visited Dr Brusque. FW does not appreciate my doctor's nature. He can be very abrupt with people and can be perceived to be a little short tempered. I think that's why I like him. He is professional and talks to me in a way I appreciate, short and to the point.

We went through how I 've been and what has been causing me problems. I'm a very driven person and hate the thought of letting people down, in my personal or work lives. I was told that I'd actually done the right thing in withdrawing myself from work this week. My first priority is my family and not my employer. That was a welcome affirmation of my decision.

The stress has also contributed to my diabetes getting slightly out of control, so I have a new tablet I need to take. That makes 3 different types a day I need. At least I've recognised the problems and taken things in hand now and not allowed things to get worse.

As I left the chemist with my new pills, I rang the office. I could immediately feel myself getting tense and anxious. The people I spoke to were very concerned and understanding and have promised to leave me well alone. My boss was supposed to all me by 12:00hrs but I've heard nothing from him.

I'm not going to read any work e-mails and have turned off the mobile, very significant actions for me.
