When I was placed on disability last time, it was because I kept phoning in to work, essentially allowing the anxiety of having to face the unknown and potentially stressful situations of the work environment creating an inability to take the necessary steps required to get myself to work.
After returning to work, I was on a strict probation such that any sick days would be eyed very cautiously by the insurance company. Now that the probation is over, I have phoned in sick three days in a row after being away on a short respite from work. I am a bit concerned because I have every intention of going to work the night before but upon awakening, I can't seem to muster the courage and energy required to overcome the fear.
It is tough to talk with others about this out of shame and I can only hope that I will overcome this obstacle tommorrow and that I'm not in too much trouble at work.
Thanks for providing a forum for this otherwise unexpressed situation.
