The Quest to Try to Overcome Separation Anxiety

Today is the last day of February and I am starting to feel just a bit anxious as I found out last week that my company will now be returning to the office in a few weeks.

We have been working remotely for two years now and although I am fully vaccinated and received the booster shot I am more anxious about being away from my husband. We have been together 24/7 for the past two years.

We had always wished that we would be able to work from home because we always missed each other when we had to be in the office. We always wondered, would we annoy each other? Would we tire of each other’s company? The past two years proved that not only would we not tire of each other but we grew even closer to the point that we can’t stand to be apart at all.

This will make going back to the office all the more difficult, thankfully I only have to be in the office a couple of days a week and even for those days, I will be working remotely as often as I can get away with it. I am prepared for the fact that I will have some separation anxiety and will need to make sure that I can keep my mind occupied on those days that I’m away from my Husband.

I plan on ensuring my phone is updated with a ton of audiobooks, e-books, podcasts, and anything else I can load it up with in order to occupy my mind.

I am hoping at some point in the future my company will be more open to working from home more so I don’t have to be at the office at all.
