Anxious to go back to work - anyone else?

[FabledBunny]

Anyone else feeling anxious to go back to work? I feel like such a pathetic idiot feeling like this. I really struggle in the world tbh, i have a pt job that i forced myself to do as i was a sahm for years but found myself not wanting to leave the house, even going food shopping was a massive struggle for me. But i managed to get back into the working world and got into a routine and it did help with how i felt and being part of the working world.

Now with lockdown ive got so used to being locked away and this has really not helped me. I feel like i’ve reverted back to my old ways and i know im going to really struggle going back to work and having to be back in the real world again.

I have to go in just 1 day next week and im panicking already. I realise there are people on the frontline doing amazing work and here i am bitching about feeling anxious. I hate it, i hate feeling so pathetic but i feel like the walls are closing in and like i want to bolt - where to i dont know.

I so wish i was normal.

I have to go back Wednesday.
I’d rather never leave the house again so yes, I too am anxious about going back to work.
I imagine once I’m there it will be better, it’s the thought of going is worse that the actual being there.........I think.
I have contemplated phoning the dr for a sick note as I am on the verge of cracking but feel that if I am signed off with anxiety I may never be able to work again & my life will be pretty much over.
There are lots of us struggling. Hang on in there

Thank you lovely, its nice to know im not alone in feeling like this although i never want anyone to have these feelings as its horrible. 💗

I understand.
After using my holidays that I'd already booked I'm due to go back to work tomorrow in a keyworker position in a high-risk environment.
I've worked the job for 2 years. Prior to this I had quite severe MH issues and OCD. I worked hard to get into employment again.
Now this.
It's horrific.

I just want to go back to work before I get too used to staying home, sàdly my employers may not survive this and I'll be out of work at 61, too soon to retire and too old to get another decent job
