I don't mean to sound ungrateful as I am lucky to have a job in Ireland with the way things are here and indeed, all over the world. What am I going to do, I have to go back at some point but when is the right time to go. As I'm writing this I'm filling up. I can't sleep at night thinking about this.I mentioned this to my therapist and she was baffled as to why I was so stressed about it. Please Help.

Could you be allowed to go on a "gradual return to work." This would mean that over a agreed upon time interval, the number of hours spent at work would increase gradually. I am not certain if your workplace has that option available to you.
