I've only been unemployed for five months, but I'm terrified of going back to work next week. New environment, completely different job to what I did before....

I even started seriously considering going back to my old job. I quit because the negative atmosphere in the team was making me depressed, but most of the negative people have left by now, too. But I think it's mostly fear of the unknown that's making me even think about going back there. I was so glad to be away!

I also really need this, though, sitting at home was doing me asbolutely no good.
