I returned to work today after 2 1/2 months leave!! Keep pushing people. You got this!

[Julie_z]

It’s going good. I guess just taking it one day at a time and trying to retrain my thoughts. I can say that waiting until it feels right doesn’t work. You kinda gotta push yourself otherwise we won’t budge. I saw a therapist yesterday for the first time in years & I am just eager to finish that chapter. What things have you done or tried for anxiety?

[Julie_z]

Oh ok. Time off is good so you can de stress. You will know when it’s time for you to go back. Don’t stress just “enjoy” your time off. You’re privileged to be able to take off from work. How are the meds working for you?

[Julie_z]

Oh okay. They say it takes 4-6 weeks and no I haven’t taken any meds. I have struggled with anxiety my entire life but panic since 2017. I’ve just fought it with bare knuckles lol.

I’ve heard that mornings tend to be the worse for most people. I don’t use anything. I’m just eager to get out the house. I miss my old lifestyle.

You’ll be back to yourself as soon as you decide💜 Don’t stress it 🙏🏽

I think that's a good mantra to follow....I love the random act of kindness is good karma....it's soooo true. That also gets us out of our own head and it helps to be selfless at times to get us out of your own way.... sometimes our disease keeps us too self revolved with our anxiety and depression....and we need to get a different perspective to break the cycle.

Funniest thing so I am off work now and I did fine. No panic attack but as soon as I laid on my couch boom there it goes. Lasted 10 minutes...

I’m going back to work after two full months just on Monday... I feel petrified about questions. I feel like everyone will ask why I was gone. Plus I already heard rumors that they plan on firing me the first day I come...

Oh no! Well let’s hope they’re just rumors and who cares what people think 😉 You’ve got this!!! Every little step counts. I was so surprised at how calm I was considering I was in panic mode just thinking about returning.

Yes I actually had two p/a at home. How ironic 😩 Gotta take the good with the bad I guess.
