I've been singed off work for four weeks now. In two lots of two weeks. It's for work related stress/low mood. Or will I continue to be signed off in two week periods?

@breaker You mean do all the things that clinical mental illness prevents you from doing? Hmm

Because long term, being signed off isn't the answer. It's an immediate short term response.

You either need to address the issues with your employer or you need to find alternative work if your job is affecting your life to this extent.

Thanks for all replies. I know long term it isn't but at the moment it's what I feel I need.

Does your employer have an Employee Assistance Programme or welfare programme? I got counselling sessions through mine which were really helpful in getting my mind back on track.

I'm not sure hr haven't been in touch with me. Can counselling be arranged quickly and do all work places tend to offer it?

Not all workplaces but you can ask. I got mine arranged within a week. 7 free hour long sessions.

Thank you I will ask hopefully my company also do this.
