I've been off work for four weeks - one week for Christmas/New Year, one week of leave ... and then two weeks when I had something of a breakdown. I knew I was burning bridges when I didn't go back to work on time, but it was just impossible, I was in a terrible state. Now here I am back at the desk with everyone tip-toeing around me (that's ok, though; I am pretty fragile), and nearly in tears again. My workload is such a mess, and the manager and her director want to talk to me at noon.
I am not coping (again). I have to let it wash over me and just try to go one moment at a time (not up to whole days yet).
