I've been off work for just over a week due to bipolar disorder/anxiety. I'm a contractor so I'm not paid while off sick but obviously it doesn't look good (though I don't go into what I'm ill with).
Today I planned to go back as I'm feeling a bit better however I tore/injured a ligament in my knee yesterday afternoon (due to an old injury and somehow twisting my knee sitting on the floor). It is very painful and I have not slept all night...not even a few seconds of sleep.
I'm now thinking it would be better to wait until tomorrow as sleep/bipolar disorder are closely linked and if I'm able to catch up on any sleep today I should do so to avoid possibly being ill later.
AIBU to not go in even though today I am not 'sick' per se?
