I have to call my supervisor today and let her know that I will be returning to work next Monday. I am nervous about making the call and about having to go back. I am worried about what questions coworkers are going to ask me. I am so anxious and depressed about it that I am having sui thoughts again this morning. I am sure it won't be as bad as I am imagining, but I am still extremely anxious...

It's none of their business why you were out. It's as simple as that. Just let them know you had some health issues and your glad to be back. Take control of that situation now and don't let it control you. If anyone wants more info, tell them that it is private. That includes your boss. You are not required to tell them why you were ill, HR handles that. They can't tell your boss either.
Thanks for this!
