First day of my old job again and my depression is back full force.

I quit my job as a maid at a hotel maybe 6 or 7 months ago, because my mental health was so awful and I could not handle it any more. Today I tried again, I got my job back recently, just 3 days a week for 6 hours a day.

She asked me if “I could work at 10:30 Thursday Morning”. I said “I have a doctors appointment every Thursday, so it may be closer to 11:00 before I make it in to work”.
