What everyone has said is so true! This is my 3rd time off work and this time I'm not going back until I feel ready. You need to take all the time you need to, and not worry about how long you've been off or are going to be off. The last 2 times I was off work, I went back too soon, but felt the pressure society places on us all - the pressure that says if you're not working then you must be lazy or faking. This time I'm not giving into that pressure! And neither should you.

If money is a worry, you can apply for EI Sick Benefits when your sick time at work has run out.
