Back to the office after WFH

Last week I was able to work from home for the week. Today, I have to go back to the office.

This could be good for me—going somewhere is usually better for me than being at home alone all the time. An ideal situation for me would be hybrid working—maybe 1 or 2 days at the office, the rest of the time at home.

I’m still feeling my usual anxiety. “Is my partner going to dump me? Am I going to be fired?”

Anxiety is exhausting. Thank god I have an Ativan prescription.

The beginning of the work week riddles me with anxiety. I use to be hybrid and now I work entirely from home. I do miss the hybrid format. Not sure why the world has to operate in either extreme, work from office versus work from home. Why can't it be hybrid. Anyway, sending positive energy so we can get through today.

Hi Kat~I am and have been using Ativan (Lorazepam (generic)) for several years, 1 💊, 3x/day. I find it EXTREMRLY helpful @ NOT ONLY treating oncoming anxiety and/or panic episodes, but MOSTLY preventing them from happening in the first place. And, I find it not really sedating, either (which it CAN cause)
