Ive been a bit quiet for a few days as Ive been a bit ill with my Crohns and Im sorry to see so many of you struggling

&*( to all of you
Buttercup, I think you are being very strong - you have done the hard part in getting the CBT sorted out and have already had your first session. Its all moved very quickly for you which is good, but the speed of all this may have made you feel more anxious

I hope it all goes well for you and I shall be thinking of you today.
Icelolly, enjoy a restful day off but try not to overthink all this if you can. You have been very brave over the last few weeks in letting others around you know whats going on and its a hard thing to do, trusting people around you with your feelings. Try to step back now and let them look after you. If you have not heard anything more my Monday and really want this resolved, then maybe think asking the head to write a letter to your GP and hand it to you - then take it to your GP yourself. I think you are being very pro-active with your feelings and as said above, I think you are very brave.
