Hi Susan,
Oh, I do share your worry (as evidenced yesterday!). It's scary. There's got to be some balance, being as hopeful as possible about doing well in our work, and trying to be philosophical when we're not at our best. We don't get a break because it's not a "visible" illness and there's stigma to boot.
I found that I often thought I was performing worse at work than I actually was. Still not as well as I wanted to, but not quite as abysmally as I thought. Despite your difficulties and the recent situation you described, I suspect you're valuable at work in many ways.
> regular raises.....think I'll ever get back there?
Yes, actually, I do. I really do!
Have yourself a decent Thursday, okay?Emme
