I wish I could advise you on going back to work. I guess just trust that you'll be able to handle it in 3 weeks. That's kind of how I've managed through any obligations I have. I don't work, but things come up. Last month I had to stand before a judge and ask to be excused from jury duty. I worried about it for weeks, and I did for a moment think I would lose it while standing in line waiting for the others, but I managed, and after realized the anticipation is much worse than the reality. Like you, I'm better than when I started, but I think this whole ordeal has given me something like PTSD (not intending to minimize real PTSD), as now on top of actual physical symptoms which come out of the blue, I've got worrying about the anxiety popping up. I'm worrying about worrying! Ha! Anyhow, my "deadline" to feel better is now actually, as end of winter brings on some different obligations for my family. And I'm not quite ready yet. I'm am almost there, worlds above where I was a few months ago, but not much better than when I first sought help. I'm not sure how to proceed other than just not think about it. We'll make it through somehow!
