Really nervous about tomorrow!!

[strawberry1756]

Its my first experience of going back to work tomorrow after being off for 2 months with really bad anxiety and panic. I have been feeling better but Ive started to panic this evening because I was feeling my worst when I was there last. Im afraid its all going to come back because I relate it to one of the places at the time I was feeling so bad. I am only going in for a couple of hours though but Im terrified I am determined though because I want to get back to a normal life. Hopefully it will be ok and all be over before I know it

Wow... good luck. I know it's always hard going back to a place you associate with hard times... but try and think positively in a 'that was then and this is now' way. It can be different this time! What kind of job do you do?

[strawberry1756]

Im an administrator for a training college I do really enjoy my job and most of the people are great but it is still very daunting. I was going to have more time off but I think this is the greatest I am going to feel at the moment since being on meds for the last month. I think I will have to work on the rest myself. So fingers crossed!

Hey Strawberry

I had three months off work a couple of years ago and I was very nervous about going back but I got through it! It took me a couple of months to go back full time and I did have some hard days but I did it.

You need to stay positive and keep telling yourself that it is a new start and you are going to feel great! If you keep telling yourself it will be like last time then it will.

Just dont give up and you will be ok xxx

Thanks for your message Kelly, hopefully it will be ok I will let you know how it goes xx

Keep telling yourself it will be fine and that you feel great etc, it honestly makes a huge difference. Every negative thought that comes into your head say the positive side to yourself instead.

You should be excited that you are feeling well enough to go back to work-you are doing brilliant by making that decision.

Good luck for tomorrow, I'm looking forward to hearing how well it goes xxx
