Hi Pierro,

Gosh, sorry to hear this. It is stressful to think about going back! I like the above suggestion of gradual return. For me, any little change or feeling hemmed in, like I have to be somewhere doing something specific makes me more stressed. Especially because I don't like to be around people much right now.

It is great you have a job, that's true. (I wish I did, still can't find one!) I'm able to find the occasional odd job right now like housecleaning. It's really good because I don't feel hemmed in and I don't have to be around people day after day, and I can cry.

I think you have no choice but to go back, right? Can you accept that? Just, I'm going back. And then take it from there. In reality, you don't know what it will be like when you go back. What was stressful for you before, the whole work situation itself?

I'm willing to be an ear if you'd like to strategize anything to make the day easier when you go back, maybe having a plan for how you will handle it would help? Would definitely like to hear how it goes for you.

Much luck...and hugs
