    Family owned business who are aware of the situation
    And less than 1/2 mile away.
    As OH is nocturnal they asked if I wanted to do 4pm-12am that's a good shift for fitting in with his sleeping pattern.
    Will do his smoothie so he has that for whilst I am out.
    Walk dogs just before I leave.
    Gotta try I think even if someone has started acting up

    ETA - is good for me to start quickly means I can't talk myself out of it

    Wishing you well, melly.
    Just look after yourself whichever way turns out to be best for you.
    Is it another H&S job or something different?

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    Sooooo
    OH flapped all night about hospital today.
    I get 4 hours sleep
    We go
    To be told that as his ITU stay would have been about £3 million, the cyst is cosmetic.
    Great, let's get someone with a compromised immune system to come into hospital whilst your snotty. Oh and the fact that oddly he's now frightened of hospital just makes it better.

    Then met one of bosses
    Got uniforn
    Been at work since 4, will get out about 1

    Day 3
    I am taking each day as it comes as I really don't know if I can do this

    Not wanting to go to work, fine when I am here though.
    Will be disappointed in myself if I fail.

    usually a lurker.

    You are not going to fail.

    You MAY decide that at the moment, working shouldn't be your priority. That's not a failure, that's a sensible re-adjustment of priorities. You may be disappointed, but it's still not a failure.

    But you've got to day 3, and out the other side. And you're fine when you're there. So hang on to that!

    That's probably in part your anxiety talking about - the adjustment of being back at work after so long, concern about a new place, worry about what's happening at home when you're not there.
    It's all about balance and priorities and you're still working those out in the context of this specific job. You needed to give it a go to work that out. And dark mornings/nights are a bit of rubbish time for many of us to be forcing ourselves out.
    Just see how it goes and take it from there. You are definitely not a failure.
