    i went on a 2 week beach holiday whilst off work with depression/anxiety.

    i was honest with my employer and asked their permission.

    permission was granted as they thought it would help my recovery.

    am not sure things would have been the same if i had broken my back and wanted to go skiing

    OP just be honest with them, maybe explain that it would help with your recovery.

    I went on a pre booked holiday whilst off sick and had to use annual leave for the days I was away.
    Mama read so much about the dangers of drinking alcohol and eating chocolate that she immediately gave up reading.
  • I'm guessing the OP works in the public sector, maybe a teacher and is suffering from some unprovable ailment such as depression. Also did you book this holiday before you became ill or during your long illness?

    Not that you are being judgemental at all...........

    Also, if you read the opening post you would see that the OP booked their holiday before falling sick!
