Not sure where to start...
After 3 months off work with depression/anxiety, I had my first half day back at work today...
In my mind, I'd felt able to return (no pressure - my choice), and I'd anticipated some fallout from issues that led to me originally to struggle and need to be absent, and some awkwardness in just meeting colleagues again (who know why I've been off work).
Well, I've had my knuckles rapped today (gently, considerately and deservedly), and it's thrown my mind back to wishing to avoid work and dulling everything with a few pints (which I learnt to my cost doesn't work with Citralopram 20mg!!). Old patterns re-emerging...!!
Not sure what, if anything, I'm asking or sharing...
Last night I almost posted a "Big Thanks" to you all for helping me through the last three months. I would have been an anonymous presence, but I learnt a lot and contributed little. Thank you from my heart!!
And today, my first (half) day back at work, I've struggled...
Didn't know where to best post this, or add to existing threads. Sorry!
