Struggling to WFH after period of absence

[Menora]

I have been off work for a month (still signed off) and physically can’t go to the office yet.
I already WFH 2 days a week anyway and usually it’s all fine, I’ve been doing that for over 2 years

I have decided to return from today as feel physically better but realise I don’t feel good mentally. I feel under a lot of pressure and people asking me stupid questions. I also feel frustrated that projects I had tried to get clarity on before I was on leave have been ignored so I am still at square 1 with them

I don’t have an OH team to speak to

I feel like I am sitting at home just taking all the horrible jobs from people or answering stupid questions. Someone asked me to set something up remotely that was sitting next to them physically and another asked me to ‘look into’ how to do something that hasn’t been decided to go ahead yet.

DD keeps talking to me and expecting conversation. Meanwhile I am drowning in 400 + emails

Just breathe if you have been off a month then none of those things you have been asked to do can be time critical. Give yourself your own goal for example I am going to do 10 emails per hour and everything else push back. Send an email to say you have only just returned from a period of absence and that you will be spending the next week or whatever is reasonable catching up on your emails/workload so only then can you pick up anything else. Let it wait it will e fine.
