Getting back to work

[Jamc]

Hi i am finding it hard have been on stress leave from work 4 most of the year working with doctor & phycoigist but the more i think about going back the more stressed i get

[AlienBP2]

Think about getting an easy ( no stress cause job) like working in a pet shop perhaps and use that as a stepping stone

[AlienBP2]

Maybe working in a nursery ?
I'm trying too think of low stress jobs that you could use as a stepping stone to something else when and if you feel up to it

I work as a school cleaner 4 the state job is not that stressfull most of the staff are supporting me it is my life outside work that me stress have bad social phobia there are not many people around when i work

[AlienBP2]

Have you tried meditation?
A pet can also be good for reducing stress
Such as a dog or cat horse pig...waskerly wabbit

Also exercise of some kind dog walking perhaps....

Hi @Jamc

A few weeks ago I picked up a mindfulness colouring book and found it so very relaxing. I love that now as adults we have been given 'permission' to colour in!

have you tried Zen-Tangle?
