Reason for period of Unemployment

I experienced the extremely traumatic loss of my brother in December 2023. This caused a period of unemployment as I could not work due to my level of anxiety. I was in an alternate provision at the time and I left there in December 2024 to go and work for InFocus. I had a very bad experience there which caused me to leave. I have been signed off of work by my GP since then.
