I got a job as graphic designer today after my second interview! Scared to death of the thought of going back to work but screw you TMS! (RSI)
I am still experiencing aches but I would say I am in the higher percentages of recovery. I can work at the pc again and do as many press ups as I want. I just cant get rid of the last bit of aches and fear! Hopefully been back at work full time will make me forget about the last bits of this horrible episode. I must say I have been a horrible wreck the last 8 months but if this had'nt of happened I was heading for a serious meltdown.
I still have lots of mental work to do but hopefully I can begin to really get somewhere!
Sorry I just needed to type this to kind of prove to myself I can do this :)
Work may be just what you need to get on with things. If you do happen to need a few techniques to get past the last of it, you might check out Fred Amir's book with his deconditioning techniques. They really helped me deal with work.
-- It's not 100% belief that's required, but 100% commitment.
I'm so glad you finally got the job. I know I will feel a lot better after I get a job as well. I have only been looking for a week and a half and there is a good chance that I will have one lined up soon but...it's in my nature to worry. Best of luck in your new endeavor.
