I have been employed in my first role since graduating with Masters since August 2018. The role is entry level, I work in higher education.
I have borderline personality disorder, diagnosed since December 2017 after seven years of mental health issues, including hospital admission after having my second child.
I am in the stirrings of another depressive / anxiet/paranoid /self harm cycle, my first big one since starting work. Work do not know about my condition, it is normal practice that all new starts complete OH referral, but I haven't and work know I haven't. I don't know what to do. I'm getting very anxious at work, feeling the urge to self harm, disassociating and crippling low self esteem. I am also fu**ing up a bit and being pulled up on it.
Do you tell your employer? Should I take time off, and just call it anxiety / depression?
