Going back to work today

I've been home for over 2 months since being furloughed due to the virus. My anxiety has been horrible; stomach problems, IBS of course, breathing issues and pain randomly popping up throughout my body. I'm hoping being back at work will help. Wish me luck please!

I wish you the best, Brooklyn! I am starting a new job in a month after being furloughed for 2&1/2 months. I am not being called back to my job so I needed to find a new one and I am grateful. I am scared, also. I am trying to be strong and speak positively to myself. I know you can do this, and I can, too. Thanks for sharing. karlou

Thank you. My employer decided not to reopen but a prior employer needed help and i know them very well so it feels like I'm with family.

Good luck getting back to work. I went back a few weeks ago and once I got in the door I felt so much better.

I think getting back to a normal routine will make you feel good.

Let us know how it goes.
