Sharon,

I started back to work in January after 8.5 months off.

I find it imperative as thrasher mentioned to take breaks. I take mini breaks also and at times find ways to get off alone for a few minutes.

I am learning to recognize the early signs of anxiety and other symptoms arising and am doing a better job at curbing them before they get out of hand.

I also snack frequently.....fruit, nuts, rice cakes and yogurt, seems to keep the blood sugar swings at bay which of course really helps to keep anxiety from turning to a storm.

You will be able to figure it out, seems to be a matter of paying attention and asking some questions here.
