I had 2 weeks off because my mental health was so bad lots of things going on at home. Also lots of changes and stress at work. This is my second week back at work and I’m no better in floods of tears everyday. Forgetting things head is all over the place. Dr prescribed setraline to me but I refused to take it so I can work on dealing with my emotions myself but that hasn’t worked.

My manager keeps asking me if I am sure if I should be at work. Every time she asks me if I’m ok I burst into tears! Very embarrassing.

I work with a lovely bunch of people who are so supportive so I know they will understand.

aibu to go off again after just coming back?

You are not well enough to be in work, so yes.

Use the time off to try the sertraline, they can be life changing. You wouldn’t try and fix a broken leg with positive thoughts.

Edit - pressed send to soon. Be extra kind to yourself OP, I hope you’re feeling better soon x
