It is difficult to make a helpful comment with so little information. Are you seeing a counselor/therapist who can help you get through this time of uncertainty and nervousness about reentering your workplace after a breakdown? What did that breakdown look like and how long have you been away from work? Sometimes just having a short set answer to give to anyone who asks about your condition is helpful rather than saying more than you are comfortable with. It would be human nature for others to be watching you after some type of episode but don’t assume that they don’t trust you. Maybe the best way to take your mind off of your worries about their reactions to you, would be to focus your energy on doing the very best job that you can on your daily work duties. Hugs and prayers to you for resuming your job and putting the breakdown behind you.

Thank you. No I was over reacting. It wasnt a breakdown that everyone saw. Only my supervisor and manager knew. They care and know what I do here helps me. I care about what I do and am good at it. I had a three day in between which helped me regroup my mind. Thank you for your kindness. It helps me through the day.

This happened to me at work also. I am actually glad it did. I was so afraid that it would happen at work that after it happend I actually felt relief and was no longer afraid of it happening. I am glad you have good co-workers that care and seem to be understanding. When this happens we just have to dust ourselves off and keep going. No looking back. I think we can all beat this. Keep praying everyone!

We gotta look forward. No turning back.

Stick it out. :D There's a woman at my work who two years ago was having constant breakdowns, lots of tears... people would say things mildly about her and sort of note it but you know what? nothing happened to her. They mentioned it but they didn't sack her, or dock her, or change her set of responsibilities. They simply rode it out. In about six months she was fine.

She's still our Margaret. Blimey speaking of people at work - we have another now who's going through something. She cries at work frequently. I think I've cried at work a few times... there's something in the water! When we all cry we all sort of... ask what's wrong, see what we can do. We talk things out when we can. Some workers don't share. That's okay. But we all do have hormones, and we all do have nights with no sleep, and we all do have children, and boyfriends, and parents, and car crashes and... you name it.

It happens a lot. we're all human, we all go through stuff. We all have crises. it's actually just part of the human condition so don't sweat it, just ride it out.

Sure you'll feel stupid for a few days or maybe even a few weeks. But yesterday is over. Tomorrow's always coming at you and all anyone cares about is how you handle what's coming at you. Just climb back on that horse and get on with it, it'll be overriden. Forgotten. The next thing will happen.
