I'm not ready. On good days I'm tired of sitting on my *** knowing that I could be working. I love my job and who I work with. But my bad days confirm that I'm not ready because my bad days are bad! I don't think I'd even be able to go back part time because my bad days are so unpredictable that I don't want to end up being a flake. It also doesn't help that I'm not bringing in any income either. I don't know what to do.

Hello LittleLeah: It's tough to know what to do in a situation like this. If you have a really understanding employer, perhaps you could talk with whoever you report to there & see if they can accommodate you for even an hour or two a day a couple of days per week, or something like that... just something to get you back to work on some minimal basis. The problem is, if you don't go back at all, at some point they may have grounds to terminate you. And also statistically speaking, the longer you are out of work, the less likely it is you will ever go back.

I agree with what Skeezyks said about the longer it takes before you go back the harder it is to go back. I know that from personal experience. I would talk to your employer and see if you can start transitioning back part time or something like that. I wish I had transitioned back by starting a few days a week and then going full time. Instead I threw myself in head first full time back to work and things were okay at first but then I had a really tough time at one point and almost quit, but I made it through.
You may be more ready than you know to go back. If you're sitting around bored and wanting more...you may just be ready. My pdoc didn't think I was ready and I went back before I had medical approval. Probably wasn't wise but I'm glad that I did. Maybe make a list of where you want to be emotionally before you go back to work and start working on those goals so you can go back. Good luck, Seesaw
