Just finished my second day at work (I only work two days a week). It was mad I tell you ... mad. So busy and stressful but I made it through ok with the help of Clonazepam. This is my first step in returning to 'normal' life after 8 weeks IP. I feel more confident now I have ticked off 2 days at work. Now I have the task of juggling work and study, along with trying to maintain self care like exercise, mediation, good diet and socialising where possible. My energy levels are improving but I am still sleeping 10 hours a night.
My mood has stabilised and the agitation has decreased but i am still anxious. Feeling overwhelmed too. Pretty normal while adjusting I guess. This week, until work on Friday, I have time to study, catch up with a friend, sleep and see my T. I am also moving back home after 12 days at my parents after discharge. I am excited but also wary of being alone. Guess I will just have to take it day by day.
