first day back nerves!

[gedlley56]

Its my first day back at work as I have been off sick for 6 months due to GAD/OCD/depression and I am dreading it. Paranoia out of control thinking everyone will have been thinking I was faking it and they will be all ' two faced' smiles when I see them today pretending to have been concerned. Cant wait to get today over with !!!

Hi. gedlley. You are suffering from GAD/OCD and Depression, NOT Paranoia. If it were you probably would not know it. Unless a psychiatrist has diagnosed this then please do not label yourself with it. It is a totally different problem than nervous illness. Thinking as you do is normal in nervous anxiety. We are very susceptible to what others think about us and especially in a work situation. You know, they may not be 'pretending' to be concerned. People do sometimes care very much about how others feel. (Witness this site). They don't always show it in the way we may expect them to. You can only do your best and try not to worry about others. They all have their problems too. I worked with someone for six months and did not know that his wife suffered from a debilitating disease. He always seemed so cheerful!. Try not to be upset but do your best. Regards. jonathan.
