I work as a manager and I have just returned to work from suffering with anxiety and stress. I have been back 4 weeks and I am starting to really get into the swing of things, but today I had my first negativity towards the way I have been performing from one of my workers. One worker has kept things from me as they think they may be putting too much on me as they think I am going backwards! I was initially astonished as I thought I was performing well, but given a few seconds to think, I replied that I was ok, I said I was recovering but I am slightly affected by anxiety from time to time but not to a point where I am unable to function, I said thank you for your concern I appreciate it but I am still recovering and sometimes I will have good days as well as bad, but at the end of the day I have a job to do! The conversation soon shifted, but obviously it played on my mind to what symptoms I had portrayed to give that assumption, I won't kid myself but I get anxious pretty much 10 times a day at work, but it is the usual, the misconception of my low self esteem. I need to drive automatic negative thoughts out of my mind and the only way possible is to face things and remain calm, time is still the great healing power.
