I'm a junior doctor, working in a hospital where three weeks ago I had to have an emergency operation. During the time I was patient in the hospital, several of my colleagues found out that I'm on antidepressants for depression and anxiety, and also that I have a problem with self harm. Obviously, this was something I was trying to keep fairly well hidden.
Anyway, I've been off for the past 3 weeks recovering, but I'm due to start back tomorrow and I'm REALLY anxious about going back now that people know about my problems. I'm scared they'll treat me differently, that they'll think badly about me. I'm just really anxious about going back, I can't settle at all, I know I'm not going to be able to sleep tonight.
What can I do to reduce my anxiety about going back? I really need some help here.........my only outlet at the minute is self harm and I'm trying really hard not to do that.
