I was made redundant 12 months ago at the same time as my partner. We decided to take a holiday before job hunting again but this was cut short when I became ill and needed emergency and major surgery. I've been recovering since and now have some mild mobility issues and take pain relief daily but I manage. We were not entitled to financial help and have lived off our savings until my partner returned to work in Feb of this year. He has been my carer while I recovered and is now sole bread winner.
I have been offered a full time job which I'm excited about, it's an active job as in not office type so I may face some difficulties keeping up with my colleagues. I am over qualified for the post but it's something I'm passionate about. But..... Since being offered the position 3 days ago I've had a massive dip in confidence. I feel out of date and old. I've put on weight since last year and quite frankly feel a mess!
I'd like to hear how others managed their returning to work anxieties and how I can boost my confidence ASAP. Thanks in advance.
