I start back at work on Monday. Im doing 3 hours Mon, Wed & Fridays for now with the view to increase hopefully back to fulltime if I can handle that.
I have to go into the office on Monday to set up my laptop but they have organised a meeting room for me. After that Ill be working from home until I am more able to handle being in the office.
Im seriously excited but anxious as all wrapped together. Ive been off work for 2 years and havent been in the office for like 2.5 maybe even 3 years.

Totally! @ClockFace
For me, work provided accountability, stability and routine.
SANE workers were off since Christmas. I've been so 'lost' during the break. I didn't even realise today was Friday!

Yeah, Im a bit unsure that I remember what it is that I do. I keep telling myself that I will pick it back up quickly but after 2 years Im sure a lot has changed so Im in for a learning curve.
I am very aware that once I finish work I will crash out and sleep for a while. I have naps in the afternoon now, Im positive that I will sleep quite deeply after work for a while.
