Sorry a few posts today
Im really wondering about when I should return to work. Ive been off for 6 or 8 weeks to help with my sister. She is home, though self harm and suicidal impulses are still pretty bad. We had a visit to ER via ambulance only a couple nights ago. I dont know whats gonna happen next but there is good money to say something will. But do I wait until they arent happening often, how long apart is it until I can feel safe to return to work?
Then there is my own issues to consider. I have surgery Friday, all going well but the earliest Id be planning to return is in a fortnight anyhow.
My concern is the hallucinations and delusions, delusions are new so I cant work out any certainty there. My visual hallucinations and dovetailing with the delusions, something very new and I thought was paranoia not delusion. Spoke to SANE today and they recommended I speak to my psychiatrist about it. So do I wait until after that? I mean I dont want to be dealing with hallucinations and delusions while Im trying to work, though there was a med change which hopefully has resolved the hallucinations though delusions are having a bit of a field day.
Ideally, Id like to go back to work, on reduced hours, in a fortnight or so but I dont know if thats enough time for me to make sure Im ok. Obviously, my sister is a different matter I mean we could be taking her to ER tomorrow for all I know. Its not so much her self harming, I work from home and I cant be getting disrupted by her saying I need ER or similar. I need to just be able to work. If I go back to work with regular doctors for her, emergencies etc then there will be issues. They know there will be appointments for me, Im sick for a lack of a better word and see a GP at least fortnightly, not to mention specialists etc.
I dont want to be waiting months but I dont want to rush into it either. If Dad had his way Id be back to work tomorrow.
