Going back to work...ahhh Mood
Monday, August 24, 2009
Today is my last day of maternity leave...I am kind of freaking out!!! I really don't want to return, I go to the doc's this afternoon and once they release me I am back to work..I am not really mentally prepared to leave Baby Ty..ahhh I feel like I am going to throw up. I have only been away from Ty for no more than a couple hours...even though my mom will be watching him, I just don't feel ready. I need more time off, I am going to talk to my doc today and see what he can do to give me a couple more weeks!! Anyone else have back to work issues??  I am having serious panic attacks today..I have never been his nervous about going back to work. I really wish T was healthy so I could just stay at home, but with his health being up and down we need something to fall back on.  This day has been creeping up on me and now that it's finally here...I am taking it alot worse then I anticipated....I am freaking out!!!!!!!!

    I wish you didn't have to go back to work, but atleast ty will be with your mom. Is there anyway you could start back part time or half days for the first week? I'm sure they would understand if you just had to call and check up on him every hour!!! I'll be thinking of you today and hoping you don't have to go back.....don't you feel a cough coming on??LOL

    so sorry. I know it was hard to leave Austin... I can't imagine what it would be like with a new baby. I hope that your doctor gives you more time. I wish we were all just wealthy and didn't have to work... sending HUGS to you... go by a lottery ticket!

    Here's an update: I was pretty calm and I went in told the nurse, who I have dealt with for years that I wanted to take more time off...so then the doc came in, she was just asking simple questions then she asked do I feel depressed or overwhelmed and I said yes, then we talked about that and she asked me some more questions, and told me that I have post partum depression and they are going to put me on Zoloft....so they want me to take a couple more weeks off to see how the meds work!!!! I guess I am relieved, I think taking something for my depression will help, and I get the bonus of taking more time off.

    How is the zoloft doing? Is that for anxiety also..I have such anxiety about going back to work.
