Struggling with phased return to work

Hi
A little off topic for me as I’m usually in the conception threads !
From May to October I was on long term sick from work . I’m in recovery now and work have been great at allowing me to change my role to suit my current and long term needs .
I’m on week three of my phased return and this week I’m really struggling and I’m only on three days ! It gets to the afternoon and I really crash and feel so so unwell. I want to speak to my manager about possibly having tomorrow and Monday off to just get my head together but would that be taking the mick ? They’ve been good but I don’t want to come across as really taking the pee about coming back . I don’t want to take it as sick, just jiggle my rota a bit for next week ?
I just need someone to say it’s ok to not be on top form after that long off I guess !
If it’s relevant , I work for the nhs

Thanks

Instead of doing a phased return of three full days could you time it differently eg every day but only the morning? Then every day up to 2pm? Etc

You need to speak to your line manager and whoever you wrote up the phased return with.
