Sandy,
I don't have personal experience with this but hope you find good resources. Do your team members know a little bit about your situation, so they know how to be supportive and don't misinterpret your behavior when you are withdrawn? Seems like this would help ... even if you only disclose a bit. Can make a big difference. Wishing you well, Ocean_Jade |
