It’s early days for you, so you really shouldn’t let yourself get too stressed out at this point.

Odds are you’ll see a good level of improvement over the coming weeks, if you take care of yourself. But the latter part is key. A job is just a job — I forced myself through work, initially, and I shudder to think how much that may have set me back in my recovery. Take your injury seriously.

Also, I think the lorazepam is a terrible idea, as it’s a benzo, which may interfere with healing. Use melatonin for sleep. And Zoloft would likely be a safer choice for anxiety.
