Has anyone else noticed a change in your Mental Health and Physical Health once you became a Remote Code? Is there a ICD 10 code to describe what happens to you mentally and physically due to lose of social skills, Physical Activity ETC. First my body began to shut down and then my mental. I found myself not interacting with anyone or anything outside of my the walls of my office My days where so routine for 5 + years. The only things would change would be my yoga pants and T-shirts. the hardest decision I had daily was what color pants and t-shirts to wear. I found myself working longer hours and my days began to get longer and longer. The stress was becoming overwhelming it seemed as if the walls where closing in on me and then when I would go outside I felt out of place and boom panic attacks one behind another. When I would go to bed at night all would think about was if my productivity was where it should be or if I would receive hate mail in the morning. The more numbers I put up the more request would come in never ending, on and on. My mental health soon began to play tricks on me and life outside of my office became scary. I would get dressed outside of my daily yoga outfit and i would began to sweat the closer I got to the door. There where time I decided to order out and have things delivered this was when I knew I needed some help. I had become a poisoner to my profession. I decided I needed to get back out in the world, I took a pay cut and went back into the office not as a coder but as a Team lead in the PAS Department at my local hospital. I must say it feels good to get up in the morning get dressed look in the mirror and smile. I still love the coding side of things but sometimes you have to pick your battles.
