RIGHT! Take it one day at a time and slowly return to work hon, you can do it and if you can't so what, you can worry about that later, not right now!

Hey Michael
Thanks for the advice. I also work in Corporate America... desk job but with high stress. That is what triggered this attack in the first place. I just feel like they are expecting so much out of me when I return and I am not 100%. I already tried to go back once and had so much chest pain that I only lasted 2 wseeks and that was part time work. I am going to see how the rest of this week goes with the xanax and me getting out and than make my decision. If I fail than I fail... I can always try again later.....RIGHT ?
Depends on what type of work do you do....ie if I were a flight attendant I totally couldnt go back to work but being that I work in corporate america, et c.....its a bit easier....hopefully they wont ask me to travel too soon.....also, perhaps you can drink some coffee with the xanax....i know caffeine is a no no but perhaps a smidge will get you up....with the xanax of course.
How do you know if you are ready to go back to work. I think about it all the time and get those anxious feelings and sometimes panicky but I have to work. Do you just go and see what happens ? How do you go and get thru it.... that is what I want to know from everybody. Have you returned to work and had anxiety issues and if so how did you cope.
I know I can do it if I take my xanax 3 times a day but I'm afraid I will need a nap like I do at home. I am suppose to go back in 3 weeks and I have been off for 4 months. I really want to go cause I am so tired and bored with sitting at home and plus I need to start making money again. Any suggestions ?
