I will try to keep this brief... But I have just returned to work after 2 years unpaid maternity leave. I have returned to similar job - but MUCH more stressful role. I am only part time, but am still struggling to deal with leaving my DD. She is being looked after by my mum who she adores but long term I will need to find a nanny.
I have also just started therapy and ADs (prozac) due to depression & serious anxiety disorders. I know my therapist will not tell me to leave my job but am i taking on too much?? I feel like I am going to combust...
It has only been 10 days on the prozac (20mg) and I feel quite out of it. My limbs feel quite leaden. And I am struggling to concentrate.
The job is very high pressured & not where I see myself in 5 years time but it is very prestigious and I don't feel I can walk away.
I also don't actually think I can do it either. I am basically hiding in the office at the moment.
So. Any tips? Just reread this and I sound a bit bonkers/desperate.
