I was signed off for 3 weeks last October with recurrent depression. My job is awful and I have handed in my notice, I still have about 5 weeks left to go. Last week I couldn't face going in and spoke to my union for advice about working conditions and a bullying/threatening manager. They told me to go off long term sick for the sake of my health. I just want to leave and not go back. I couldn't get a docs appointment for another 10 days or so to get another sick note. I really can't face going in tomorrow but I am scared. I am scared of being bullied. I am scared of having a meltdown at work. I am scared of the nasty team members trying to push me out of my job. I am scared that they will increase my workload again, just as they did last time in order to push me out. I can't cope with it. I am worried they'll try and put me through a disciplinary for being sick as they don't even try to help me.
Do I go back tomorrow or should I stay off until I get to the doc?
