I am struggling with that right now. I am on short-term disability and doing the paper work for the longer term insurance to kick in. Sometimes, I don't know if half of what I feel is due to the boredom /lack of purpose or due to the depression. I am constantly torn between just going back to work rather than taking the time to ensure I am stable. I have good days when I am sure I could function. But then they are followed by days I can barely get out of bed. Especially if I find I do a bit too much of anything.
