I'm depressed and have taken today and will also take tomorrow off work. I'm wondering if I'm unreasonable to do one meeting because it's a case I have had a lot of involvement in, lots of people are coming to the meeting, it's not easy to reschedule, and I'll have to reschedule asap. It's online so I can get out of bed, focus for an hour, then collapse.
I am capable of focusing and acting happy for one hour but I can't focus for an entire day. My concentration is shit, I'm exhausted, I spent most of today in bed. I self referred to IAPT two months ago but still waiting on any kind of therapeutic intervention. I have asked my GP for a meds review (I have had a diagnosis of bipolar for 16 years).
You are being unreasonable: you're off sick, you shouldn't work
You are NOT being unreasonable: if you feel well enough, do the one meeting
