I really injured my back two and a half months ago and have been out of work recovering since then. I had started to improve towards the end of my sick leave but had a bit of a set back in the last week before my return date. 

Now I have a few days under my belt and have to get through four more days until I have the weekend off. I’m so anxious about the pain! I think it’s normal to have some while my body gets adjusted to being back in a super physically demanding job but I can’t seem to put it out of my mind and I’m just sooo scared of hurting myself. Everything that I used to do without a second thought is SO HARD for me now and I’m anxious about being able to deal with the pain. 

Does anybody have any advice on how to manage the anxiety? (The physical stuff is being handled by my doctors, I’m really just looking for help with the anxiety). 

Thanks for your time!
