I should be happy but being the xmas period and everything i am an emotional wreck, find it hard to not look at my wife and &amp;nbsp;kids without getting upset. So difficult to protect them from seeing my emotions, dont want to worry them. I know on tuesday that I could be getting the green light to return to normality however I wonder if anyone else has had a similar experience as I am terrified of going back to work, I cant see further than any couple of days I think i must be depressed. I have looked at some of the posts and it has made me feel ashamed as I know some of you are worst than me but it is such a difficult time that any people whom have suffered post op depressions and return to work worries please get in touch.I know I should be pleased to be getting back , it could be the kepra but I am worrying about everything.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/aggbug?PostID=392665&amp;AppID=31369&amp;AppType=Weblog&amp;ContentType=0" width="1" height="1"&gt;</content><author><name>Former Member</name><uri>https://community.macmillan.org.uk/members/formermember</uri></author><category term="tumour" scheme="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-blogs/b/be_strong1/archive/tags/tumour" /><category term="glioma" scheme="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-blogs/b/be_strong1/archive/tags/glioma" /><category term="brain" scheme="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-blogs/b/be_strong1/archive/tags/brain" /></entry></feed>
