Hi all,
After a truly spectacular meltdown earlier in the week (which had been brewing for a while) I have been signed off two weeks by my GP with stress.
I haven't heard anything from school since sending the doctors note in and I am trying to concentrate on feeling better and not feeling guilty.
My question is, do I need to inform my union? I'm finding it really hard to talk about without either bursting into tears or feeling like I can't handle the job any more because I am a crap teacher. I can't even think how to begin the conversation. I'm also aware that SLT at my school are very anti-union. We currently have no rep for any of the unions.
I really feel like in just want to sleep for two weeks and not think about anything to do with work but I realise that's not particularly helpful. I feel so drained with it all.

Signed off with stress, do I need union involved?
