After hospitalization and a couple weeks of sick leave. I used some annual leave from memory or maybe leave without pay and returned the first couple of weeks working 2-3 split days usually work 5.
I negotiated this by email prior to my return without disclosing nature of illness. The first couple of weeks I did office work and e learning before resuming face to face clinical work.
I was feeling anxious about face to face .not feeling confident. My boss was supportive. Some of my colleagues were , some weren't ( didn't let worry me though) . In hindsight I felt like you , not ready , frustrated by had to return to provide for family. It took me a while to feel confident with help from support network- friends and family and pdoc, therapist.
You'll get there. It's early days. Make sure you take care of yourself. Self nurture !
