Hi Layla,
I can relate to your experience. I have been on disability insurance for two years. Long story short, I went off work with a serious depression and was eventually diagnosied with bipolar II. I will be returning to work in September, but am anxious about it. I wonder if I will be able to function the same as before. I wonder if my mind will work like it used to. Will I sleep well enough to get up in the morning? Then there is the whole aspect of facing my co-workers.
I recall the nightmares when I was at my worst. My dreams were dark and I was always fighting for my life.
I will be seeing my pdoc and T a lot when I return, just to ensure that I am functioning well and to keep things from going sideways. I hope you have a supportive medical team that can assist you in returning to your job.
