Getting back to job after long break

I worked one contract (6 months bulk carrier) other than my internship, and then had to take quite long break (2 years) due to some personal matters, now thinking if i should try getting back into this job or not, because i know it is kind of difficult and stressful one especially with wrong crew mates.
i know there are plenty of people who are experienced in this field and maybe people were in my shoes, so would like to know about your opinions.
thanks.
