Hello, I've had PND with both of my children and have been on Citalopram for about 4 months. I was doing ok (relatively, for me!)until a few weeks ago when I had to speak to my boss about returning to work. It is all set for me to return 4 days a week in late July. Since that discussion I've really gone downhill - my depression has returned badly and I feel like I did before I started taking the pills. I don't feel that I can cope going back to work and it's going to tip me over the edge. I don't think they even want me to come back and they have had a brilliant person doing my job while I've been on leave, so I'm sure they would be happy for me to resign. However, I cannot afford to resign. I think I need to postpone my return to work somehow. Has anyone done this? Surely pnd is a legitimate reason to go on sick leave? But then it all starts getting v. complicated and HR starts getting involved. Really do not know what I'm going to do about this ...
Sorry for the very not-to-the-point rant but I'm not thinking very clearly.
any advice would be welcomed...
Thanks
