Hi folks,

It’s been a while since I dropped by. I was off work for almost a year with a real bad anxiety problem. I thought my working career was over.

My company has a disabilty manager company that pays you while off and they set me up for something very similar to CBT. I went through a process of learning my triggers and working out solutions to get the anxiety under control.

It seems to have worked out well for me as I am now back at work full time. I was returned to work gradually doing a few hours a day and then slowly increasing hours until I was up to the full 8 per day.

I am happy with the outcome. I think the whole process went well for me and I am happy to be back at work full time at full pay. It makes my life so much easier not worrying about being short of cash all the time.

I thought I should check in and share this news. Never give up hope.

Good you could find a way to get through it and work, I hate the thought of going to work every morning, but in reality it is probably good for me and gets me out of the house.
