Hi

I was in a crash 9 weeks ago it wasnt a really bad one but i hurt my back and neck and my car was wrote off i had to leave my job and im stuck at home.
I was only back working 2 weeks before the crash after leaving another job because of bullying. Im in physio now and i know i will be well enough to go back working soon but i dont think i want to all i have had is bad experinces in work places with bullying and i dont know if im ready to get back out there i know i cant stay at home forever but i dont know if i can handle the presure of a working environment yet, i dont feel like my family or partner understand not really i feel like im sinking into a rut! does anyone else feel like this.
 
I have complete empathy for you.I get literature on self-
help,to build up my self confidence.Bullying has been addressed in US schools,nation wide,as a serious problem.Especially, due to young people sending bad stuff over the internet.Your self-confidense will improve
once you get reading this down to earth data. Good luck....Bill
 
I agree with the above poster. What about a friend to talk to about what you have experienced? I would advise you to try to make work work. While "office politics" occur in some form in every work place, the environments can be vastly different in one place compared to another. You won't be able to find that great work environment if you stop working! I have found for me, that work, like school, is increasingly harder to go back to the longer I've been away. Also, the longer I wait on doing something that makes me nervous, the more nervous about it I get, so I just bite the bullet now and get it done and over with so I can enjoy the rewards later. Think of it this way, working brings you one day closer to getting more comfortable with that work, as well as one day closer to retirement/part time hours :) . Especially in this economy, if you can get a job I wouldn't pass the opportunity up.

However, if the stress of going back is very, very severe, get yourself some counseling first before going back.
 
hi guys

Thank you so much for your support i know i need to bite the bullet and get back out there but it feels me with dread i find myself making excuses not to leave the house especially on my own, ive become depended on my partner ive pushed friends away because i dont think they will understand that i dont feel confident like them sitting in a pub or a nightclub fills me with dread because i feel all eyes are on me.

I have spoken to my doctor about it but he doesnt listen he just brushes it off and says im fine but i dont feel fine i feel like i want to cry all the time i put on a front around people and everyone thinks im really confident but im not i doubt everything i do.

Im thinking about going to see someone myself and see if they can help me but i dont think i want to tell anyone about it because if they knew i feel like they would laugh.

It feels like a release to be able to talk about this even if it is online.
