[quote=Anonymous]I went back to work after years of being a SAHM. It’s hard. I really love working but it’s hard. I’ve never had anxiety and have always had a lot of self confidence but it was an adjustment feeling like I fit in (it’s always “working” vs “SAHM” so it was an identity change for sure). I did adjust quickly though and though I don’t get the same fulfillment from work that I used to, and probably never will, it’s been overall positive. But I can’t say I’ll stay working forever. Cut yourself some slack and give it time. It was really helpful mentally knowing that I didn’t *have to* work. If something made me upset for long enough I was like…I can quit and it’s fine! But I’d give it two weeks and it turned around. [/quote]
