Returning to work post hysterectomy and deep into surgical menopause

I will start off by saying i don’t know what i want from this thread but ….

returned to work yesterday following 6 months off recovering from hysterectomy that went wrong post surgery - the wound took over 10 weeks to heal and getting to grips with surgical menopause and i cant do it.

my brain isn't retaining any information and i just think its all bullcrap anyway. I cant spell without the help of spellchecker. I hate my job and i have only been back for 2 half days.

before this i was competent and confident and more importantly invested in my work and believed in it.

the anxiety is back and im sat here nearly in tears wondering if this operation has ruined my life and i should have just continued to put up with the adenmyosis and never have had it done. I feel so far from myself i barely recognise anything of who i was before.

Are you on HRT?
I think it's normal to feel anxious going back to work after such a long and very difficult time but HRT may help. Good luck!
