I am feeling very anxious right now and dreading tomorrow as I am due to return to work.
I had been signed off by my doctor for six weeks off work, due to work anxiety and stress . My six weeks are now up and I am returning on a phased return starting Tuesday, as suggested by my GP. (I shall work one day and have the next day off for 2 weeks)
I am going to see occupational health at some point to talk things through which is fine.
I am just dreading walking back in the office, all the questions I may face and the looks of questioning and / or sympathy, and seeing my manager.
I feel silly that I am not enjoying my bank holiday weekend as I am constantly thinking about my return.
Have any if you been in the same situation? If so how did you relax, prepare and deal with it?
I know I will also need a one to one with a manager and i'm feeling apprehensive. I will need to bring up the matter of the abruptness of someone who helps me in our team that has contributed to me feeling like this, but there will be fallout from this situation as this member of staff can be confrontational. As I have anxiety I am worrying about this.
I just want tomorrow to be an easing myself back in day.....
