WOW! What a day!
Today was my
first day back to work since Jan 4th. I went into treatment on Jan 9th.
I mean Wow!
Today was the best day of the year for me. I had only one fleeting obsession to use today - and that was on my way to work and then it was smooth sailing all day. Only one obsession so far today is a big deal considering that I normally have breakdowns 13 - 22 times per day (yes I document this stuff in a notepad). This spurt of intrusion free thinking is pleasantly surprising and very much unexpected. My coworkers welcomed me back by buying me lunch at my favorite Mexican greasy spoon. Maybe I stayed away too long? I have my final therapy session on Monday morning. I'm sure the roast will be full throttle from the therapists and my group peers.
My boss welcomed
me back with open arms and a hug! He is manipulative and untrustworthy so I'm not getting too excited about his welcome. He did divulge my medical info to my the office so I didn't have any explaining to do. Of course this was not authorized. So we now have an HR issue that I'm debating whether to pursue or just let it go. I don't know if the drama is worth it.
Although I couldn't do
much due to having all of my accounts locked/disabled I still completed 2 purdy damned good Visio diagrams for one client. I'm not going to let my guard down yet - because my financial and dependency issues can still impact my employment. Probably wont feel too good from that perspective for quite some time yet.
Hey, later
tonight be I'll be posting about "Obama's Visit to Joey's Neighborhood." Seriously, he should travel right down my road tomorrow on his way to Plainfield HS for his campaign stop.
