I pray that all goes well for you. I experienced the same panic and anxiety before returning and I wanted more than anything to just stay home to avoid it again and again but I made myself, knowing that I could not just shut myself off to the world. It has gotten better but just yesterday I had a \"new\" experience as I helped out doing taking over a meeting that in the past I did often but this was the 1st since returning and of course the panic returned but subsided. So just know that each situation is different. I hope all goes well for you!
You can tell them you needed some time to things back in order, and leave it at that they don\'t need to know why. Since you have not worked in 13+ yrs and now getting back to work it could have been a little overwhelming to you. You can come up with something to tell them I am sure and if not just say I am not ready to talk about it now.
I hope all went well today. I know how you feel. I\'m not a people person either.
I agree. You don\'t need to explain details, or lie. I\'m not a people person either, and I don\'t know many people stuck in eating disorders who are. I don\'t have many friends on this website because it\'s like AAAHHH too many people!
I hope that your day went well. And what is it that you do for work?
