Struggling with brain fog and going back to work

I have a 1 1/2 year old and have been lucky enough to have this time off with him on mat leave. Money is getting tight and I am looking to go back to work. Before I had my LO I had 2 jobs and earned good money 1 of those jobs was working for myself so I now do not have a job to go straight back too, my job was a photographer and social media manager before and since taking well over a year off I feel so out of the loop on trends etc I have also been applying for jobs with no luck and sometimes no response. On top of all of this I have the biggest brain fog, I think deep down I don't actually want to go back to work I just want to stay off with my LO but know its not realistic and I have to go back to work. My confidence is very low when it comes to work and I also don't feel I have the time to focus on my own business or anyone else's for that matter.

I'm looking for some advice on the brain fog and how other mums dealt with going back to work.

Fake it til you make it. It's horrendous at first but you get there.... and actually it's nice to do something where you are just you for a bit. The brain fog will start to lift!

Thanks for the response! I can't seem to snap out of it and the thought of having to go through interviews and start a whole new role while feeling like this is scary!\
