Do you have a coworker you trust who you could tell why you're taking time off, and then have that person make up some excuse for why you're on leave? When I was inpatient I texted a coworker I trusted and told her what happened, and before I went back to work she made up a reason for why I was gone so no one would ask me questions when I got back.

Do they all really know why you're taking your leave of absence? Maybe they don't know. Unless you told them?

I'm not sure how a leave of absence like that works. Do you have to explain to your work why exactly?

It makes me sad you're dealing with this and that the meds aren't working. I hope you feel better soon. Everything will work out in the end.

Hugs.
