I'm interested to read if anyone has requested adjustments to their work as a result of MH problems. I'm struggling with anxiety and depression currently and work is getting harder. I have brain fog, it's hard to get out of bed in the morning as I wake up in the night am drained. I sometimes feel overwhelmed in the office first thing - it feels like a huge long day stretching before me. The other day I worked from home for a day and I felt so much calmer.
I'm considering asking my manager if I can have a work from home day once a week - he and a few others do this. The work can easily be done from home, and there's an argument that it's easier to concentrate with less noise (lots of data analysis etc). Thing is, because I've had a few days of having to go home early or come in later due to counselling/Drs appointments, and because I've not been as productive due to the brain fog, I feel like a cf to ask. Has anyone asked for support from their work, and how did it go?
