I appreciate everyone's posts - I don't plan on sharing with my co-workers when I go back. They know I have thyroid issues, which is why I took the leave.
As far as sharing with friends... I just came home from church - was standing at the back in my choir robe, ready to process in - could not contain the depression and could not push through it - I left and came home. I do not plan on calling anyone because I don't want to burden them. So once again, I am left to handle my emotions on my own. This is fine by me but can be a challenge. I think I will post in another forum because some of the responses in this forum seem a bit harsh(although I have to say that I really appreciate everyone's honesty). I will continue to push through and I know things will get better!
