HI all,
Im new to the forum so i apologise for if this has been asked already. Ive been off work for 6 weeks now- taken steps through GP and Councilling and am now managing on a day to day level and dealing well with new born son.
However, i tried to go back to work just for a meeting to ease myself in ready for a phased return in Jan. During the meeting i started to suffer a panic attack- all the discussion about statistics and targets got to me i suppose. I managed to calm down and apart from feeling silly to suffer in front of colleques, im worried about re-entering different stressful situations. Obviously i want to reintroduce these as im ready to add work back into my life. Just wondered if anyone had any tips or ideas about how i can deal with the feelings if they arise unacceptedly.
Many Thanks
