Hi - I will give a brief background
I use to take anti depressants for years. I took myself off them at the end of 2014 because i didn't like the side effects and in the early part of of 2015 I took few weeks off work from stress. I was worn out. Work life and personal life was intense. And i guess my body was flushing all that stuff of pills out.
I found that fitness journey helped the most, but I also started seeing naturopathic doctor for diet and stress. after. Most of the pills I purchased from the doctor seemed harmless. vitamin B, etc.
she recommend a natural herbal thing that could help with memory and focus. a few months ago i didn't receive a refill fast enough and went without it for 1 week and 1/2. The reaction was horrible.
Sluggish and many bruising spots on my body and headaches. So when I refilled I decided to slowly ween off it for a few months. outcome was More headaches, less energy. Life got more stressful and increased work load. I felt so sick. stuck. insane headaches. i felt it was harder to focus on what people say,harder to read. one day I couldn't get out bed.
I have been off work for almost 2 and half weeks. I feel embarrassed, because this is the 2nd time i took myself off pills and now I need rest time again. 3 months recommended by the doctor. I don't know what to say to my boss and people i work with. I gave my boss a doctors note. So she has some idea. I received a text from someone at my work asking me how I am. I don't know what to say. the text is still on my phone from a few days ago. because whatever i say could be repeated in the office. i don't want people to worry more then they need too.
I don't want to say I was burnout from work.
What can I say without impacting my career negatively? help me generate a short brief answer please
