I feel like I can’t return to work because of my depression

...See more Hi everyone, this is my first time posting here. I’ve been in a depressive episode for the last 2 weeks and I feel like the stress and pressure of work just makes everything worse, so I think I need some time off work to recover. I went to work yesterday and I couldn’t handle it, I got anxious and stressed and overwhelmed and had too many negative thoughts going through my head. I’m going to lose a lot of income by taking time off work but I need to reset and recover. I can’t to back to work like this, depressed. I work in customer service and it is impossible to put a smile on and pretend everything is okay when it’s not.
