Return to work crisis of confidence

[Piecarumba]

Basically I’ve just gone back to work after DC2 and I feel like I’m shit at everything, I’m taking ages to get things done as feel like I’ve forgotten everything. I’m meant to be relatively senior but have to keep asking the juniors where everything is and how we do things now.

This is only my second week and I’m behind, meant to be working now to catch up but DD is unsettled as overtired from nursery so sat in the dark with her.
I’m just hating it and my confidence is rock bottom. Does it get better or is it just me?

It gets better! You're only in week 2 so it's not surprising that you're feeling all at sea. Be kind to yourself! In a few weeks you'll be wondering what you were worried about!

Be kind to yourself. It’s only week 2! I found with all three of my DC that it took at least three months before I felt on top of things again.

Thank you! I’m sure I’m over reacting and I need to give it more time but it has been a pretty crappy start! Thanks again, I’ve had a cry and some gin
