Hi all ive been on the mend for around a month now but yesterday my anxiety was triggered and I feel ive just gone back sq #1, it's my daughters 21st tomorrow so I'm not going to say anything but am at psychiatrists tomorrow morning so will mention it. I do hope ive not gone backwards and this is a blip and things will click back into place but at the moment I could just cry. Due back to start work on a phased return Monday so I'm now really anxious about that now but will go.

Some reassurance would be a boost. N

    Don't panic! These blips do happen. You will have good days and bad days, but over time the good days will outweigh the bad. 

    Could it be that subconsciously the thought of going back to work is causing it? Be sure that you aren't rushing back before you are ready, as this won't help, but rather hinder your recovery.

    However, at the same point, remember that it is natural to be anxious about returning to work after a period of absence, so don't expect to not feel any worry when it comes to going back.

    I hope that you feel better soon and that tomorrow is a better day.
