I broke down in work today

[user7609823]

I just can't cope with my job anymore. I returned to work just over 4 weeks ago after been off sick for 6 months.
We are so short staffed and busy, all the staff that I worked with before have left so I have a whole new team. I have a new manager. Everything is so different.
I can't cope with the increased workload, I feel so useless. Managed to hold it all in the end of my shift then just sat in my car crying and had a panic attack at the thought of going back.
I don't think I can face going back tomorrow.

Can't read and run as I also had 3 months off sick for similar. Are you having some mh supper? Phased return? Occ health?

@nevernotstruggling I'm on a phased return but only for another 2 weeks. No mh support but I didn't really think I needed it as I was ok before returning to work.

Might be worth having a chat with your GP about how your feeling OP.

I would suggest you request an occupational health referral urgently. Did they not do this when you were off? I would also contact your union and talk it over with them.
If you have been off 6 months then whatever the reason is will be likely covered by the equality act and you can request reasonable adjustments.
