Due to a number of incidents all happening in a row, I found myself incapable of returning to work after a short planned vacation. I believe is started with being falsely accused of criticising the leader of a social anxiety group, then being made to feel unwelcome at another support group. On my vacation I went to visit my parents which was also unsettling. When I began to contemplate the workload facing me, I became paralyzed and unable to follow through on getting to work. Anyway after three weeks of battling the anxiety, I began to turn things around. One of the keys was to come clean with some of the people around me about the trouble that I was in. Otherwise I was content to pretend everything was fine in front of most others. Anyway, had the big meeting with representatives from work (2 supervisors, rehab admin, occupational health nurse, HR rep, and rehab consultant) and am working half time for a couple of weeks before returning to full duties again. phew.
