It's been a couple of weeks since my accident (as I mentioned in my other post) and I kind of feel like even though work is a welcome distraction, it also exacerbates my emotional symptoms more. At least, once a week, I get so anxious and angry over my accident that I have to walk away from my desk or cry alone in a bathroom, just to get some relief from these feelings. Even if I don't feel extremely emotional, I feel disinterested with my job, a job that I used to thrive in.
My therapist is on board with the idea. She also suggested instead of taking time off, why don't I take medication temporarily while I'm working on my issues, until I feel like I'm function properly. I'd rather take the time off but at the same time, I'd feel really guilty leaving my coworkers stranded.
I guess my main question is, has taking off time from work helped your recovery at all?
