I don't really like how that's worded. I don't think you intended it as such, but it's inaccurate.
"[...]and your gp of the way your health is going"
That sounds like I'm suffering heavy depression, and am going down hill. It sounds like you believe I'm getting significantly worse, which isn't true. I'm fine again.
As I said, a number things came at me at the same time - regular life inconveniences; everyone gets these now and again - but I didn't have the time or energy to deal with them. They came too close together, and instead of having some time out to relax on the weekend, and process them, I had busy, noisy gatherings with people.
I had some stressors, combined with little time for myself to deal with them. Enough, that combined with other things, pushed me over normal stress levels. Yes, there were clear signs of being stressed (overwriting memories that I should have kept, and an very active mind that had to focus on going over those things,) but I took one day off work.
One day, which gave me that little extra time to unwind, and deal with the challenges.
Also, my boss knows I don't want to work away from Melbourne any further. He'd like to find extra local work, but at the moment, much of it is travelling away. That's a separate challenge, and I've accepted that if I'm asked to work away, I will speak with him and take the time off unpaid. It's only if I start working away too much, and it's because I have other things on.
