wisewoman, your T is right...it's a big jump going from being at home to back at work full time, and it can be exhausting, leaving you vulnerable to the bad feelings again. But keep in mind that you are in treatment, and that will put the breaks on before you slide all the way back down again.

One of the things that my therapist kept reminding me is, make sure I take all of the breaks I'm entitled to, and really use them for breaks...try to use them to relax and recharge instead of doing things like running errands or catching up on other things.

And most of all, be gentle with yourself. You're doing something very difficult, and you need to give yourself credit for that accomplishment. I had an old voice teacher who used to say "keep doing what you're doing"...you're doing what you need to get yourself back to health, and I know you'll be ok if you "keep doing what you're doing."

Take care.
*hugs*

P.S. Are you on anti-anxiety meds?
