Having a breakdown about going back to work.

eawebster · April 2010

Today is supposed to be my first day back to work since my m/c and I'm completely brokendown. I was up late last night crying and pretty much have been since 5 this morning. I was out all week last week, and I know I need to go back, but I just don't feel ready. I hate this! Maybe I'll make it half a day and come home around lunch time...

I just wanted you to know that you are not alone in this today. I am returning to work for the first time today as well. I think the 1/2 day thing is a good idea. I'll be praying for you today.

(((HUGS)))

Hang in there. A half day (or just as many hours as you can handle) sound like a good idea. I was trying so hard to go to work on Thursday and kept breaking down and ended up taking the day. Just take it one hour at a time and see how you do. And if you get there and get upset - just go home and rest. It's okay. Our minds and bodies are going through so much.

I'm so sorry. I am off for two weeks, due to my surgery, but with my natural m/c I only took four days and it was so terrible. I was not ready physically or emotionally to go back to work. Hang in there!!

I was only able to take 4 days off and I certainly wasn't ready when I came back but I had no other choice. Take it slow and try to take care of yourself.

I'm so sorry you have to go back today. I think the half day option would be great if you could do that. Ease back into it. Good luck. I'll be thinking of you.

i made it just over a half day. first thing when i got there was really REALLY rough, almost worse than i thought it would be, but by the time i left i was starting to feel slightly settled in. i needed to leave though, i think that was what was keeping me going.

thank you for all the support though. i'm so glad i wasn't the only one dreading today (or whenever it is you do go back.) i have to say, i really enjoyed being home during the day, despite the pain (physically and emotionally), and makes me want to stay at home more so than i did before...

I'm so sorry. I know how you are feeling. I had a really hard time today at work. I cried most of the day and am just not myself at all. I think i was trying so hard to get myself healthy physically and didn't let myself heal emotionally. The hardest thing for me is that i work in outside sales and am expected to be all happy and smile and be nice to people all day long and i just dont have it in me yet. I have my d&c follow up tomorrow and i'm going to ask my doctor to put me back on STD for another week so i can take time to heal emotionally. I hope she lets me do this. Good luck to all you ladies who have to go back to wrk soon. I will be thinking of you all.
