Deuce,

Possibly anxiety.

I have had a lot of anxiety since my injury....who hasn't. I missed 9 months of work and returned in jan of this year.

I had to get psyched up to go to work and as I became accustomed to it again I found myself not worrying as much about going. The weird thing is I would start to really come unglued on the way home and then going home took on a fearful tone. It took quite awhile to recognize it was anxiety and not necessarily genuine physical symptoms of the injury.

i don't know what I was fearful of about returning home. My theory is that I was worried about my head causing me problems at work( which it did and does but not to the extint I was imaging possible) and It was safe to fall apart out of the public view at home. And fall Apart I did. It is getting much better now that I am recognizing anxious thinking and managing it better.

Bud
