It's wondering how long everyone took off work and if you thought it was enough. I'm a hairstylist & makeup artist, but I work from home and make my own schedule. I'm hoping to take a week off and then start up again, with breaks in between each client. Work an hour, relax an hour. Does this sound do-able? I have known my clients for years and they won't mind if I'm doing their hair in pj's or sweats. So I literally can walk downstairs, so a few clients and be done.

This is a great thread! I too wanted to only be off 2 ish weeks after release so I can get back to my patients!

What type of work do you do?

Love

Same here. I am starting Grad school at Case Western Intensive weekend program.

Orientation is aug 3 with classes starting in sept sometime.

Where are you going?

I went back to work after two weeks. The first week back was realy difficult as I was totally exhausted. I now have been back for two weeks and feel back to normal. I havea desk job, sort of. I run group therapy sessions and attend multi-disciplinary teams and do individual counseling etc as well as tons of typing at my computer, at a state hospital for sex offenders. I am a clinical social worker. It is doeable but do not expect to be back to normal and I found myself drifting off in front of my computer, HAHA. Just be patient with yourself.
