I’ve been off sick for two weeks for a medical reason and back this week.
I feel really anxious about it because I’m going back into a busy week and feel rather out the loop. Honestly, I was probably operating at 70% the week before I went off too. I love my job and I put my all into it pretty much all the time. Rarely ever off. I made the mistake of logging on at the weekend and there are so many emails waiting, I’ve remembered several things that I should have done weeks ago (but haven’t). The reality is I can do them this week but I am worried my output has been shoddy.
I have a lovely team and a really understanding, easy to get along with manager. I have no reason to worry like I am doing, but for some reason I am and I feel guilty that I have done hardly anything work wise in the last few weeks. I don’t know if my colleagues will perceive it in the same way as I do, or if I am just extra aware and self critical.
Thank you for being my sounding board!
