Hi everyone. I am returning to work in 2 weeks after taking 5 months off due to severe anxiety and panic attack. During this time I have been able to considerably lower anxiety and stop panic attacks. I'm returning to work in 2 weeks and am noticing the return of all the dreaded physical symptoms whenever I think about it. I don't want to go back and panic. Any helpful advice, please.

Bro , shift your focus from worrying to getting things done.
Anxiety creates worrying and therefore a vicious cycle.

Try to make yourself comfortable.
Speak slower and mingle more with new co workers.
All the best to u.

Stop thinking and live in the moment.

Read the philosophy of Emperor Marcus Aurelius and apply it to your life. Also read up on stoicism.

You are welcome.

Who Is Marcus Aurelius? Getting To Know The Roman Emperor
Agasicles, king of the Spartans, once quipped that he wanted to be ‘the student of men whose son I should like to be as well.’ It is a critical consideration we need to make in our search for role models. Stoicism is no exception. Before we begin our studies we need to ask ourselves: Who are the people that followed these precepts? Who can I point out as an example? Am I proud to look up to this person? Do I want to be more like them?

And Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius, born nearly two millennia ago (121 – 180), is a leader and example who provides a resounding yes.

Marcus Annius Verus was born in a prominent and established family but nobody at the time would have predicted that he would one day be Emperor of the Empire. There is little that is known of his childhood but he was a serious young man who also enjoyed wrestling, boxing and hunting. Around his teenage years, the reigning emperor at the time, Hadrian was nearing death and was childless. He had to pick a successor and after his first choice, Lucius Ceionius, died unexpectedly, he chose Antoninus. He was a senator who was also childless and he would have to adopt Marcus, as per Hadrian’s condition, as well as Ceionius’s son, Lucius Verus. This is how Marcus’s name changed to Marcus Aurelius Antoninus.

Thanks for the sounding advice bro. I wish it's all that easy. But I tend to do all that, I just worry about what bad could happen that I'm doing my best to keep it away.
