My boss has asked me to phone her tomorrow and I’m so worried.
I have quite a stressful job. It’s technical, difficult and the work is constantly being piled on us.
I worked through lockdown at home with my 6 and 2 yr old...home schooling the 6 year old and just trying to manage the two year old. My husband, also a key worker, was out 5 days a week from 7:45 Til half five-ish.
My kids are now back at childminder and school and I’m doing 4 pick ups and drop off as day between them.
Most importantly and worryingly, I’ve taken a terrible bout of anxiety in work. I’ve been really badly trained and came back from mat leave last year (when DS was 1) and was thrown back into the job. I am floundering and constantly feel sick with nerves. I’ve spent the past two weeks crying most days at my inability to do the job and the more I look at the work the more I panic
I’m up at 4 most morning worried stiff and then it’s a vicious circle. To add insult to injury building works are being completed next door and the banging, drilling and noise is through the roof.
I’m a mess. I logged off today and logged back in tonight to see a message from my boss asking me “to call her when I’m back online..”
She’s noticed my absence. I just don’t know what to tell her. I’m exhausted from every aspect of my life and and worried about everything and feel pretty much Incapable at everything. The feeling is invading everything and I’m so worried.
What do I say to her? I feel ill and like an absolute moron
