With work related stress, struggling with severe anxiety, and high blood pressure.

AIBU thinking that I should have welfare checks, been off for three weeks so far, nit heard a thing?

This makes me feel as though as they don’t care and don’t want me back?

Am I right to think they should contact me?

What, they could contact you by law or just best practice?

From ACAS:

An employer can contact an employee who is off sick. How much contact is appropriate will depend on the employee's individual circumstances.
The employer and employee should agree what is an appropriate level of contact.”

There is also a bit about long term sickness and it being good practice to check in, but generally long term is considered 4+ weeks and OP has only been absent for 3 at this point.
