I know exactly how you feel! I've been off work for about 6 months as well, and my boss used to text me daily about whether I could comeback and when I was coming back. My family's been supportive but I'm feeling the strain on them as well, my three year old has started picking at the skin on her fingers until it bleeds and when I ask her what she's worried about to do that she says " I am worried about you mommy"... breaks my heart and makes me feel worse. I feel useless and powerless and worried all the time about when I'll be normal.

You're not alone.

I started reading the thread about people recovering and it does give me hope. I remind myself that I need to be a priority for myself in order to be able to be the best person I can be for my family. I try to prioritize... work is work... but family and quality of life is more important.


Cheers,
