I have been stressed at work for about nine months and my team manager has also been stresses, I am currently under kings college hospital where my heart is being monitored and I have a heart monitor implanted. The stress only began when my company had a restructure and we were all given different jobs. This change in jobs happened about four months after my heart implant. Up to now I have just coped at work but recently my team manager moved to another job due to stress and I now have a new manager who I have to support until they are trained up. I told my company in January that i could not continue but so far nothing has changed. I went to my doctor who signed me off for one week but I don't think that will help. I can't sleep I am feeling very low and I don't know what to do for the best. Can anyone help.

I have had a situation similar to your experience and have learned the hard way. Try and sort it out asap. I'm thinking that your difficulty sleeping is likely to be a result of over thinking. Try to establish a "bedtime" routine such as putting "work" aside at least an hour before you try to sleep. I find it helpful to make a list of things I need or want to do the following day. Turn off and keep away from electronic devices when you think it's bedtime as they do affect the human brain. You might find it helpful to then have a shower/bath with aromatherapy candles or room sprays. I've been told that yoga can work for some people or having ambient music playing. I wish you luck. Carpe diem!

When I came through the trauma I emerged from being a linguist to having to learn how to talk, walk etc. I didn't recognise my husband much less my family. I went through a phase of having to take haloperidol which is a kind of sedative/antipsychotic as I was trying to escape and had become abusive and aggressive to people. In essence I became the kind of person I was trying to manage in my job as a school improvement officer. I'm still on anti-seizure medication and have regular rehabilitation meetings with my consultant. No-one wants to find themselves reduced to that state so my advice is to make the choice to find a way of improving things quickly or escaping. Carpe diem!
