I have spoken to my GP this morning and she does not feel I am ready to return to work - I have been signed off until next week. She think I may be ready to return to work on very reduced hours next week. I am also being referred to my employer's Occupational Health. This will take me up to 2 months off work.
To be honest I feel relieved that it is over and the decision was taken out of my hands as she knows best and has my best interests at heart. I will be trying to have another positive day.
Seeing occupational health is a positive step. An extra week to get yourself straight sounds like the right thing.
I think that’s a good decision
That sounds very wise. Well done.
That sounds really positive! Well done for being open and honest with them.
Thanks for all of your kind responses - it really does mean a lot to me.
Today has been tougher - I am feeling low at not being able to go back to work and had a little bit of unwelcome news which I do not want to go into details on here.
Work is very important to me - I do not have a partner in my life and going into work and making a positive contribution was something I felt I could be proud of.
I will just have to see how the next week goes.
You do know that this is a safe space and you are welcome to share all that is worrying you.
Sorry you've had some crappy news. Honestly the not going back to work is a positive thing right now. You need to spend this time getting more stable. You are still contributing - you are contributing here which is great.
Thanks for your responses as always. I appreciate that this is a safe place to talk and share but it does not solely concern me so I do not feel it is right to share. I will talk it over with my Mum and friends.
Unfortunately I did not get out for a proper walk today - I left it too late and it was raining which would have been miserable to have walked in along with the freezing temperatures!
I have had a nice tea of Sausage, fried eggs and bubble and squeak with a can of Coca-Cola and have done a mindfulness meditation which has helped me somewhat.
