Ask the doctor for a fit note which recommends a phased return to work Tinks. I have a colleague in a similar position to you who has been on half shifts since Christmas and has recently been given another fit note for the same level of shifts for the next 3 months. You might not need the same level of phased return or be able to afford to be on reduced hours, but it...

Don't be pressurised into getting back to work if you're not ready Tinkerbell. Its not good for them to be calling and texting. See your GP and ask about phased return.

If you are NHS based Tinkerbell then you need to go to occupational health after being off for more than four weeks. They will advise a phased return also. Although the GP fit note is more substantial and my choice when retuning.
Try not to feel pressured although I know it's hard. When seeing Occy Health I would mention the pressure and the texting of colleagues/friends because that sounds a little intimidating to me.
You should never return too soon because that doesn't help with HR sickness issues. One long period of sickness is better than several periods. But you have to what's best for you.
We all care about our jobs and our colleagues etc but our own health must come first.
Feel better soon, GF

Greedyfly has given you good advice, tinks.
Contact Occupational Health and refer yourself to negotiate a phased return to work.
Starting anyone back after sick leave on three 12 hour shifts is just plain cruel (and stupid).
If you refer yourself, the consultation with Occy Health is confidential.
Your manager texting one of your friends is not acceptable. Tell Occy Health that so it is recorded. Apart from it beimg jolly rude, there are also issues of confidentiality there. You may not have told your friend why you are off and no one else should.
Also......five weeks is not a long time with depression. Any GP knows this. See how you get on tomorrow.
Chin up!

Greedy and ladyalex have said just what I was going to say - you need the Occy health view on this. Anyone who's been on long term sick in the NHS should be referred to Occ Health anyway, to make sure they are fit to return - and if your manager hasn't seen fit to do it, you can refer yourself. As others say, if you make your own referral OH don't sent a full report to the manager (which they do if the manager makes the referral). Anyone I know who has been long term sick has nearly always had a phased return, so they don't find themselves back where they started by going in too deep, too soon.
Good luck with it, tinks - I know how it is, as do many of us on here - hold on tight, let us know how you get on.
