What exactly is the cause of the tears? Or would you prefer not to say?

Ur not ready to go back to work go back to doctor and get him to sign off longer.

Ur employers have a duty to look after ur health and they need to take step to help u and they need to help u in getting back to work.

IF THEY DON’T THEY COULD FIND THEMSELFS IN TROUBLE
U could have a case to take them to court

i am seeing my doctor tomorow im frightend he will think im just trying to skive off work, funny thing is even tho i now hate my boss i like my job.and the reason why i depresed…i was abused as a child, my mother who i shouldnt caer about any way but i do is drining herself to death, i look after my brother who is 27 but brain damaged and i feel like im not giving him everything he needs coz im to busy with work or with helping my sister wh has 7 kids and isnt doing a grate job of looking after them so i do. because im looking after everyone i have a lot of debt and at work i feel like a outsider coz i cant join in the ‘normal’ things everone else is doing eg going to the pub ect, i cant help but be disproving of 90%topics as there mostly about crue and offensive things, and i just cant cope

I lasted 4weeks in a call centre cause i was older than most and had nothing in common with any of them so i know where u r coming from.

Sounds like everything is getting on top of you. U need time out for urself. U time.

i quite like the call center and even the customers its the staff that get me…but even then i didnt mind them to much.im just so afraid that he will send me back to work… even if he wont give me a sick note i dodnt think i could make myself go. and then i would get fired and maybe thats not so bad i mean apart from my rent ect.. would they let me goon to job seekers even tho i had a fine job?

i reaaly don’t know.
but its obvious to me ur not ready to go back to work so tell the doc what u told me and he see it to and u’ll not have to go back. I have work a little in health and safety so i know what can and can’t be done.
