Name changed again although I posted when this first happened with a different name change from my standard MN one! (and I didn't even spell this one right, oh well).
I had a massive panic attack at work and have been off since (over a month now), still v. anxious and having occasional but lessening panic attacks. Also having an eating disorder relapse which the panic is both contributing to and is made worse by. I am back on fluoxetine, have got myself mildly (I hope only mildly!) dependent on diazepam, and have tried beta blockers but really didn't get on with them.
Yesterday the GP signed me off for a whole month. Due to the nature of my job this is really not good in terms of money, return time, and other stuff (being deliberately vague to not out myself). Also, I don't know really whether doing fuck all, all day every day is really for the best. It isn't really fuck all, I have been going running and stuff to try and actually have an eating disorder and be actual thin for once, rather than just a fat bulimic.
Work say I can't go back while I'm signed off legally. I want to try and change my note to a 'may be fit for work' so I can do a phased return.
Anyone got any experience relating to going back to work after time off for anything like this I would like to know! I am worried about lots of things and that worry is only going to increase the longer I am away I think!
