I left work due to severe depression and anxiety. Before I left I saw the nurse at work who was very sympathetic and assured me that I was not the first person to come to her with such problems. By the time I return to work, I will have been gone slighlty more than 9 weeks. Everyone at work knows that I've been "sick" but they don't know what is wrong with me. My boss knows the real reason and while she was told by the nurse that under HIPPA law, she was required to keep her knowledge to herself, I'm pretty sure she has told at least 2 people. I believe that those 2 people will keep the information private, but my main concern is what I will tell my co-workers. I would like to give them some explanation other than "it's personal". Does anyone have any good explanations for a 9+ week absence? Thanks
