I agree with the others, leave your symptoms at home as much as you can. It's hard for coworkers to understand your personal troubles, and they really don't belong in the workplace. This will be difficult, but if you try to act as if you are so much better, you will get into the habit of it and your coworkers won't feel awkward around you. The biggest mistake I made coming back after my mom's death was to let my depression show and my tears flow. It alienated me from my friends - who didn't know how to react - and just gave my boss ammunition to use against me. She put me on report for three months, so I couldn't get a transfer, a raise, or anything else beneficial. Granted, we didn't get along the best before Mom passed, but my depression after didn't help any.
Meanwhile, as everyone else has said, hang in there, keep posting, and basically do the best you can. Hugs!
