Doctor wants me to take some time off but I don't know what to do

I have depression and anxiety and recently both have got really bad.

I went to see my doctor and she wants to write me a sick note for one to two months so I can take that time off work to recover.

I told her that I did not want a sick note at the time because I didn't want to take anytime off work and I thought I could cope. But now I'm beginning to think my doctor was right and I may ask her to give me a sick note.

My issue is that I live at home with my parents and it is because of them that my anxiety and depression have got really worse. I cannot stand to be around them and they make me feel so much worse.
But if I am off work on a sick note I will be spending all my time at home! Which will make me worse, not better!

So my question is if I took a month off work where can I go to spend this time off to recover?
I don't have any friends or family I could go and stay with. I really don't know what my options are :/

Do you have any savings from your wages? Maybe you could book a holiday for yourself
