Re: Back to work on thurs after 4 months scared er just a bit...need cheering up
I feel for you Carter. It is not helping that you are being forced back to work before you feel ready but you seem to understand this illness now which helps. Sorry to hear that the CBT did not work out for you. Please try to think of your return to work not as a test, but as practice for you in accepting these feelings and realising that they cannot harm you. (I'm not saying this is easy). It is the fear of the way we are feeling which keeps the nerves sensitised.
If you have not yet read it,there is a brilliant book by Dr Claire Weekes;SELF HELP FOR YOUR NERVES ISBN 0-7225-3155-9.This is available from the NMP shop. Dr Weekes was a physician and scientist. She was a fellow sufferer (nominated for the nobel prize for medicine) and really understood this illness. She took the mystery out of it, and devised a simple programme for recovery. I can't recommend this enough. This will get better.
Here is a link to her site;
