    Have you spoken with a doctor about being put on illness benefit while you treat and recover from your PND?

    Being on sick leave should not affect your record. It's not under your control.

    If you can, try to avoid making huge life-altering decisions while suffering from PND. It can make every problem seem much worse than it is, it's very difficult to evaluate options clearly. Giving up your job is a pretty big decision to make while you have PND. Can you wait until you are recovered?
