    Signed off work again

    So I saw my GP today.
    I have been on 10mg of cit for 2 weeks and 20mg for 4 weeks. He said its probably too early for the tablets to have fully taken effect and keeping me on 20mg. I have been signed off for another three weeks with the option to a phased return within that time before the term finishes. I was very anxious going into to the GP but controlled it better. Just sending in my certificate to work via email made my anxiety very high. I feel relief when i get signed off again, am i just putting off the inevitable? Am i just avoiding work because its safer? I am worried that if I do not go back then I never will. Surely I will know when I am ready? Will there be a time when i think about work and the anxiety is not there?
    Its a really tough time for me a t the moment. My union has been very supportive and have told me just to take your time as you are unwell and your body needs to heal.

    I think rather than pressuring yourself to get back to work just try and take the time to concentrate on getting better. At least you will have over the summer to hopefully feel better x
