It's my birthday today! It's also the day I went back to work after being signed off for four months. I was really nervous and it was just awful. I wanted to cry when I got to my car. I think I was just really overwhelmed and the pressure of you have to sustain your return to work or you'll be taken to a disciplinary didn't help. I was signed off because of a relapse with (postpartum) depression. While I was off I was on three different antidepressants, seeing my GP countless times and I've also been having counselling. I just felt like work were implying it's something trivial. That was my first sickness absence since 2008.
I'm back in tomorrow and I'm hoping it goes better than today.
