Dreading tomorrow

I have been off work for 9 days. the first 2 for bereavement and I had originally had this week just gone off as I had a holiday away booked but due to the circumstances (ie my friend dying) I cancelled the holiday and stayed home the week. Tomorrow is my first day back in and although it has only been 9 days off I am dreading it. I wasn't much enjoying work before (1 aspect of the job troubles me but can't talk to anyone about it) but my heart is lurching with the thought of going in tomorrow. I work in customer services and if one customer is irate with me I am afraid I may just burst into tears. I cannot afford to leave the job and i'm currently looking for employment elsewhere so this is just to get it off my chest really.

Can't your employers help in any way?

I work as a teacher, and when I went back to work after my mum died, I was dreading facing classes of terrible teens.

Head of Dept spoke to them all first, and they were really good, and made it so much easier. I was dreading "difficult situations" as well, but it was manageable
