My years maternity leave is almost up. I'm due to go back 2nd July (Wednesday!)
I emailed a couple of months ago and told them I'm not doing very well physically or emotionally and have been diagnosed with PTSD & PND/anxiety following a traumatic birth of dc2.
I'm on medication and having weekly counselling.
The new HR person (started while I was on mat leave) emailed sorry to hear that. You're not due back for two months yet. Hopefully you'll be better by then. Keep us updated (in a nutshell).
Saw GP last Tuesday and although I'm doing a little better (compared to before I started treatment) I am nowhere near 'normal', I wouldn't be able to cope with going back to work or making the decision to never go back.
Called head office same day but HR out of the office for the day. I emailed that I am not ready to come back, what do they need me to do now?
Got an out of office reply to be returning Friday.
Not heard anything since.
Do I chase them up or have I done my bit and now just wait?
GP is happy to do a sick note, or send a formal medical report with my consent if they ask for it. Psychiatrist happy to do a report for them even HV has said she can if needed.
I hate not knowing what's happening but don't really want to talk to anyone on the phone as I think I'll get upset.
Sorry it's long, 
hope this all makes sense. Thanks for reading & any help or advice.
