Ive been off work for 14 weeks due to a car accident and then ectopic pregnancy and im due to return to work on Monday. Im physically ready but not emotionally (suffereing from depression due to loss of baby). I have just got off the phone to HR and they have agreed to do a phased return to work. She asked me to go in for a informal meeting on Monday at 1pm. She said that i dont have to go straight back into the call centre. Just have the meeting and then go hame and have a think about what weve discussed. Im a little confussed now as my sick note runs out on Sunday and then on monday im not going to be actually doing any work. Do i need to get another sick note to cover me whilst im still going through the phased period? How long does the phased period usually last? Emotionally i dont feel ready to go back. I cant deal with people asking me about what happened or seeing the mass over pregnant women that work on my floor. Im only going back as i know that ive got to get some sort of normality back so that i can move on with my life. I also dont feel like i can do my usual job either (theres lots of pressure and stress involved). Im having a hard enough time dealing with whats happened without the added pressure of my job. Do you think that they will agree to let me do something else, at least on a temporary basis?
Thanks, Natalie
