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
The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

That sounds very wise. Well done.

That sounds really positive! Well done for being open and honest with them.
Do a little of something that makes you happy every day!

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.
