The feeling of dread/impending doom

in Toddlers: 12 - 24 Months
I am about to accept a job offer. I'm just waiting for the email. I've been home with Zoe for 13 months . I don't want to work, I need to work (financially). The job will be busy (good) but the offer isn't that great to start but has the potential in the next few months to get exponentially better. It doesn't matter. I just want my girl. I've posted about this before and I know I'm being whiny. I know lots of women do this. I still feel all doom and gloom and overwhelming dread. Talk me down.

    I had to go back to work after 9 months with DD.  I felt the same way.  I thought everything is ending.  Well, of course it didn't.  It is different and yes it is hard.  But I like what I do and that helps.  My job has a lot of time off and DD seems to love daycare.  I did feel that way.  I don't know how to make you feel better but just know it will be different but everything will be ok!

    I am heading back in two weeks.  I felt the way you do for a few weeks last month.  It was awful, I was weepy and not fun to be around.  I was sure that as my back to work day got closer it would get worse, but it has actually gotten MUCH better.  I might actually say that I'm looking forward to going back.  I would prefer to stay home with Ruari, but seeing as that's not an option, I am making the best of it.  I don't know what really helped for me....I think it just got better on it's own, but I did try my best to look at the positives (She will LOVE daycare, she needs the socialization, I love my job, I need the socialization etc.). 

    GL!!  I still get teary eyed, but it's getting better....I think once you get your head around your job etc. it'll get better.  I'm sure because it's still somewhat abstract it might be harder to deal with (if that makes sense).

    You've had 13 months with her.  Many people (myself included) would give up a limb to have had that. 

    It's totally natural to feel this way, but you two have had a long time together and that's really great.  But she's at an age now where being around other kids (assuming you're putting her in some kind of daycare) will probably be good for her.  She - and you - will be fine.  GL!
