Hello again @MicheleR. I agree with @zoffiel about not intending to make you feel pressured to not go back to work. I think the point was to think it through if you have doubts, and be clear with yourself and your boss about expectations. And to really think about what you’d like your normal to be, according to you. Whatever you’re happy with.
But please, even if you go back and then see you can’t handle it as well as you thought, don’t worry about being judged. No one should be judging you in your position. No one should be judging period. If someone does judge, it says more about their personality than your competence. And that is none of your business. Your priority is making sure you’re ok, not what others think of you. And just to reiterate what I said above - the only one whose judgements should bother you, are your own. Ask yourself what bothers you more: your colleagues judging you, or yourself judging you? Are you worried that if you go back to work to feel normal, that it will backfire if you can’t attain it once again? And does that scare you? Do you think it will make you feel like you are def a sick and not so competent person after the bc?
Sorry, I’m not suggesting anything. I’m just trying to help you gain clarity. I’m putting myself in your position, and these were the questions that came up.
I hope you work it out and feel happy with your decision ♥️♥️
