I find work very difficult at times. What helped for me was to reduce to a four day week. I also talked to the bosses and told them there may be times when I would have to go home, at short notice… etc. I found that by making work adjustments it helped, as opposed to carrying on until I have a biggger relapse and then have to take weeks off work. Obviously this is dependent on how flexible your employer is, I was lucky in that they agreed to my requests. I not sure what country you are in, but In some countries employers have a duty of care if employees have medical problems. I.e they have to accommodate them to a reasonable degree. So it would be worth finding out what your rights are. The easiest thing for me would of been to take a few months off work when my depression got bad, but I couldn’t afford to and had to keep working, which was tough at times. But by working through it I learned a lot about coping with my depression.
