I'm on sick leave - my employer requested a formal meeting

I have been signed off work until the beginning of February. My diagnosis is severe depression and anxiety due to work related stress. Now I receieved an email from my manager who wants to organize a formal meeting next week. I understand this is just standard procedure and part of long sickness policy but I still feel somewhat frightened and even intimidated as this is after all formal meeting. With my mental health so fragile and being on antidepressants I simply don't know when will I be able to come back to work and I don't know how to prepare for this meeting. I would appreciate any advice

  • I've had formal meetings for long sick leave take your union rep with you or a colleague to hear what's said. They gave me a plan to return to work, l did but on a reduced hours program with imput from occupational health and reduced duties. I know this is worrying but it's something that we have to get through and they are just crossing the boxes to say you have met. 
    take care
