Hello all
Happy new year.
I apologize for my time away, also for restricting my blog temporarily.
You see I have had very little to say in the last little while that was not a mere repetition of what I have previously already said.
There are just so many ways you can say the same thing without just becoming dull as, well what exactly is that dull?
I am going back to work soon and my return is already not going very smoothly. Also, the new year has not started very well either as my son's laptop has broken.
I am due back at work on the 7th of January. It scares me. I am not sure I am quite ready but I have to face the music eventually. I am to go back part time, which will pay about the same as when I was on Employment Insurance. I hope to qualify for my insurance to pay the balance but I have yet to know if that will be the case. There are no guaranties you see.
Some limitations and accommodations are suggested for my return as I should not yet deal with difficult clients as I have yet to start my therapies. These things take time. If they cannot accommodate me then I may not be able to return as quickly, so the insurance will become paramount.
I am still not sleeping very well and the times I sleep best are in the morning. Unfortunately, it's morning I am to work. Maybe I will be able to change it later if it's not working. We'll see...
I am on medications and they are helping with my mood but I am still wrought with moments of anxiety and despair at times, so fearful of setting the house on fire. Needless to say I still struggle with my self esteem.
It's unbelievable that I have already been off work for three months. I have done so little. Time has flown.
I will let you know how things go once I am back at work.
Thanks for reading.
huh. I go back on the 7th too. I know how you feel. In my case, it has been nearly 2 years, and while my meds have helped ease the constant anxiety that plagued me, I'm still nervous about my return.
