I had a baby back in February, now I swear someone hit fast foward on 2025 because the time has flown. I return to work in about a week. My partner doesn't work and my paid leave is used up as of next week so I have no choice but to go back to work as much as I'd like to be a stay at home mum for a bit longer it's not financially doable.
It's mentally/ emotionally tough the thought of being away from my baby. I will be doing 3 5hr shifts a week which start at 5:30/ 6am. I keep trying to remind myself he will be asleep for pretty much half my shift and I'll be home before I know it but I can't help but feel depressed and anxious. I am a first time mum.
Any tips from other working mums to get through that return to work anxiety/ depression?
