It's great that you have an understanding boss Ruby, that'll make all the difference. I have spoken to a colleague a lot recently about taking time off for stress (hers not mine) and she decided against it because, having taken time out in the past, she says it just makes it harder to come back. I can really empathise with the anger issues and the working around alcohol one too. I had to host a few events in early sobriety and it was not fun. But it does get easier. I worried that I was going to snap too, I think I spent many evenings googling anger management! Just take it day by day and things will get easier. Oh, and tiger balm was my remedy for those horrible tension headaches, it's a miracle worker! x
