Worried about getting back to work...

[silver_snow]

So last week i had a holiday in corfu and had anxiety the whole time and didn't really enjoy it how i should have then i came back and felt like i wasn't up to work as i haven't been sleeping well and am not myself so don't think i will be able to do the job, so i'm signed off sick for a week and now i'm worried i wont be able to go back at all as i have left it so long. It's constantly on my mind and i just cant relax. I'm so worried i will always feel like this and will end up stuck at home all day on my own, i'm finding it hard to be positive at the moment as i'm so scared it won't go away this time. I think maybe i am hoping writing it down on here will help somehow although i don't know exactly how but it can't hurt....

Hey

Well done on going abroad, I had a holiday booked back in May with my now ex and I couldn't go. I still regret it now not going. So please take a big positive from that.

Hi

I hope writing it down has helped

I dont work , but I can imagine how you are feeling & of course like with anything the more something plays on our mind the more fear we create & then the anxiety comes which gives us the negative thoughts , till we get into such a mess we feel & think as you are doing now

Its not easy but take each day as it comes , you seem to be putting a lot of pressure on yourself , you need to say for today I dont have to go to work but I will look after me , do things that will help you start to feel good again , set little goals that will help to build back your confidence that you can manage

Maybe you might need a little time of work , just like you would if you had any other illness , but slowly we do recover & you will get back to the work place if thats what you want

Be kind to yourself for now

Well done on going on holiday , even if you didnt feel you did to well while you were there you went & a double well done getting on a plane & going abroad , thats a big achievement when we are suffering, you should feel proud

Love
