Hello Helpneeded786,

Welcome to the forums.

I haven't done this, but I would think you should visit a GP and see if they can support an extension of your sick leave for medical reasons.

I understand this is a difficult time for you, but I wonder if you want to look for another job? Unless the bullying boss has left the workplace, you'll still be in the same situation as you were before. Alternatively, would you like to consider reporting the boss to HR? Bullying isn't acceptable, in any workplace.

Take care,
M

I’m on income protection through my super so maybe check to see if your super fund has something similar.
