I returned from mat leave 3 weeks ago and am working full time in a stressful job (part time request was declined) and also dealing with a relationship breakup so trying to cope as a single mum.
I feel so overwhelmed and exhausted with it all i worry I can't hold it together, mainly at work. And I miss my ds.
So I explained this to doctor today and she said I need a break to recover and gave me sick note for 2 months. I have been on ADs since May (had PND) I really wasn't expecting that from her. I know I need it but how the hell do I tell work? they will be up s*t creek without a paddle if I just left suddenly. I almost feel like I should give notice.
I plan to leave anyway and find a better part time or less stressful job. This will give me the breathing space I need to get my head straight. Will I have to tell potential employers that I am on sick leave and is it not right for me to go to interviews while I am on sick leave?
