I am asking so many questions I am sorry! I was wondering if anyone has any advice about what to say to people when I go back to work - I will have been off for 3 weeks and everyone will ask why and I dont really want everyone to know. I work in a place full of outgoing gossipy people who wouldn't understand panic disorder at all.
I am also worried about having to take further time off for counselling etc, has anyone got any experience of dealing with this. My partner keeps saying I just need to put myself first and ignore them at work if they say anything about me taking time off - but I feel guilty and am afraid I will get the sack or at the very least no pay rise, promotion ever because they'll want to get rid of me ....
