****warning this is a rant****
It's been a month now and my sick note officially ends 22nd October. They told me I have to do a "back to work interview ". I know I'm not getting fired, but at the back of my head I keep having the fear of being fired for being off sick. But I have been off Sick for a month and a bit before and never had a work interview. It's making me very worried. I still don't feel ready to come back yet but I need the money now. I'm isolated because I don't have the money to travel and see my friends apart from one. My parents won't let me spend anymore money now. I'm not manic but I have spent a lot of money just to travel to see my friend. My phone is off to be repaired so I'm using an old phone and I can't call people on it. I hate being stuck in the house and I hate the feeling of just wanting to stay in bed all day. Sorry for the rant. But I needed to get something off my chest.

I was terrified to go back as well but when I got there I received several hugs and welcome backs and we're so happy to see you. I totally understand how you are feeling though. It's hard. Hugs to you!!

I second what hopeless said. I was out for three months and terrified to go back but when I got there everything was fine. Take some deep breaths and try to relax.

Just go slow. Breathe, one step at a time. It will be okay. I'm sure the interview is just normal procedure to help you get back in sync with the workplace. It can help you adjust. Good Luck!

Been there. Done that. It's scary as all can be but my mantra was "This too shall pass..." It helped a lot, but I was still afraid. Like everyone else has said, it ended up being just fine. A little rough to adjust for a week or to, but there was a lot of support. Good Luck! No matter what it will be okay!

I was nervous going back too. I was only out two weeks, but everyone was really happy to see me! It made me feel appreciated. I'm sure everyone will be happy to see you too. Maybe the work review is just some mandatory thing. I'm sure everything will be fine. (((hugs)))
