Feeling like a Loser
With a capital L
I am trying to get back into the swing of things with work…going back after 6mos medical leave….aaaaannnddd I called out
Idk what riddens me more, not going in or going in
It’s easy to say if you need the time you did the right thing
But it’s so easy for me to “I can’t” 🤢
I wish I could just get my life together and do what I’m supposed to do. I don’t have a choice. I shouldn’t of called out.
@peachThinker662 I'm really sorry you're feeling this way. You're not a loser 🤍 You're trying and that truly matters ❤️ Coming back after 6 months of break is not easy, and it's okay if it feels overwhelming. Please try not to be too hard on yourself ❤️ Sending lots of love your way! 🐾💕
Thanks @fossilfellow I just wish i could be bigger than the surgery
@peachThinker662 ❤️❤️
You take care of yourself the best you can. That’s important <3

hello, It is brave for you to think about if should or should not go in to work. Yes, it all depends on you though. Maybe you are physically but not mentally ready to head back to work. or vice versa. Personally having had some time off of work because of a surgery myself, I can honestly say I did not take enough time off after my surgery. I am a very physical person, so I figured my body would heal fast and things would fall into place just like that. It was not just like that. It was like 2 more years after my surgery that my body started to feel a little better. I guess it all depends if your job is going to demand what you can not give if you go back now. If not, then I suppose you can go back if you are emotionally ready to head back. Ask yourself, have I done all the things to ready yourself to be back and so on? Best wishes and hope you get better sooner than later. Be kind to yourself
I appreciate this.
I don’t think I was ready mentally. All the weeks of can’t do this or that and then “ you can go back to work” ummm ok
It’s anxiety provoking. Especially where even just in a store even it’s crowded guard my neck because I don’t want anyone bumping into it.
I have the last 3 days off, I think it gave me time to reflect. I feel guilty when I don’t go in, there’s not much socialization and I don’t have anything to do.
the mentally ready portion was SO spot on. I wish I had time to adjust to my body and its freedom of limitations. Days without naps, etc. ❤️
