Gosh, that sounds familiar. I felt the same way after five weeks on medical leave I really needed to go back to work myself. I was pretty torn up about it and had to take some Ativan to calm down. (Note that taking Ativan for long periods of time is not a good idea. I don't take Ativan very often. Usually just once a week and typically just .25mg which is like 1/2 a pill.. almost nothing). Fortunately some nice supportive people encouraged me (yes I got a backrub too.. heh) and I was able to go back. I have been back for 5 weeks now and except for a failed med increase (which may have been unnecessary) this week, I have been consistently able to perform a full day work. I do go home afterward and relax, walk the dog, and do deep breating/relaxation periods (not cult wacko stuff just medically approved relaxation). I hope this user experience helps. Peace :).
