I've been on medical leave from my job for two months after I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety. I'm trying to figure when I should go back to work. I've already decided to leave my current position because it is a major source of anxiety and stress, but I do need to work and I'm not sure if I'm ready. How do I know when to re-engage with daily work life after taking so much time away? Right now I don't feel ready, but I'm worried that the longer I'm out of working life, the harder it will be to start working again. I've decided to start volunteering as a way to fill my time and get used to a social environment. Any thoughts on how to know when to return to work after taking a leave for depression/anxiety?
