My GP has signed me off for 2 weeks (she wanted a month but I got it down to 2 weeks). I've been doing really badly at work and they are very sympathetic but I can't keep causing problems for everyone else. Feel like I have failed but it's all just too much and I have nothing left to give.
Watching my dad rapidly decline is harder than I ever thought it would be and I remain resistant to meds (in the latest effort my doc has added aripiprazole into the mix)

I am a total failure

Do you fear the two weeks will hurt you more than help?

I’m sorry that Depression is telling you that you’re a failure. It’s a very persistent liar

I don't know, I feel like I have failed and I feel really guilty about just leaving all my work for my colleagues to do. But my bosses are really understanding - I got a bunch of flowers from them that was delivered today

Three days off work so far and I am just trying to keep busy and to focus on my Dad. He has very little time left so just trying to be there for my Mum and stay strong. I am so scared about him dying but I also just want to see him at peace
