Scared To Go Back To Work

Understand the Fear

Hi: I too understand totally. I have been off work for about 3 weeks now. I was out all of Jan for my hubby's radiation treatments. In Feb, I returned back full force thinking I needed to get back into the swing of things. However, after 2 weeks, I started getting sick. First the nausea, then diahrrhea(SP), then the full blown panic attacks. I can't concentrate, too much noise, loud voices, demands, etc etc. I finally got to where I couldn't even get out of bed. I decided this couldn't go on and sought help. Its taken 3 weeks to get into a Doc's office. I did the intake and the therapist said I had PTSD with severe depression. I couldn't even go out of the house without hubby with me. I see the Doc on Monday.

AND...I am changing jobs. This one at Home Health has added to the symptoms. I know I probably shouldn't make major decisions right now, BUT the place I work now is not healthy for me. I am returning part-time to another hospital. The staff , (so far), seems supportive and team oriented. I think this is where I need to go. IF I don't maintain there, then its career change time. Luckily, my hubby is my biggest support.

I am reading all of ya'lls thoughts and suggestions. They are helping. Thanks for all you do...
