Back to reality . Am I being dramatic

Back to work this week I work full time, three 13hr shift a week. I was very nervous but my gp/ consultant said I should be fine if I keep my 2meters and a mask which I have been doing. I dont know how the nhs staff do it all day every day.

I'm glad to be back as I can finally talk to people but still anxious as they say the coronavirus will peak in the winter and already peaking in Blackburn. I live in huncoat (Accrington) and I work in clitheroe which is going up slowly also so more anxious about going to work.

Should I talk to my gp/specialist or am i being dramatic, if I've been told I should be alright going back to work surely I should be?

Hi Avamia94, we all have different levels of concern. If you would feel more comfortable about returning to work after having another conversation with your gp/specialist then I would suggest you do that. At the end of the day you’re the one that’s going into that environment.

I know I’m definitely more anxious since suffering from ET but not from catching covid19. Don’t get me wrong I take precautions. Maybe because I’m retired I can choose where and when to mix.

This is here to stay just like many other horrid diseases.

Maybe a talk with your employer and GP might help.

Having a job to go back to is a mighty plus but in a way adds to your dilemma. My son has just fallen victim to the many closing down of businesses.

No-one can criticise your decision.

Good luck with what every you choose to do

Not what you're looking for?
