Going back to work and panic attacks

[jennielouises]

I'm going back to work on Monday because I was feeling so much better. I decided this last night that I would go back on Monday. Then this morning I have woken up panicking again. I need to go back as I need to get back to normal life but my IBS is scaring my so much its causing the panic. What shall I do?

I had to face work after a breakdown and 3 months off,it wasnt as bad as expected it never is.Try and stay calm and go back,it will turn out to be a good distraction,sitting around worrying about the what ifs will make you worse
good luck

Thanks MrAndy. It's just because I am still getting the cold chills in my arms, dizziness and on and off nausea that is scaring my but I think that is due to the anxiety?

I know that I need to get back to work as I want my life back but so scared!

[MrAndy]

you will be ok ,i did it 6 weeks after being in a pysch ward and I was in a real mess
It wasnt easy but it wasnt as bad as I thought either,work has become a good distraction for me now.If i was at home all day i would go really flippin nuts !
