Mentally exhausted

Hey guys I'm starting of by saying I'm so upset.. I went back to work after mat leave and miss my baby like crazy.I'm finding it hard to fit in with the team as there are all friends and 2 are really clicky . My own manager said she feels I need a new management style with them and they need leadership etc and she feels they are not getting enough. I might add that while I was off nobody covered my job so I think having a manager in the office is putting there noses out of joint.

Tbh I just don't have the energy for the role, it's exhausting so I told my boss I wanted to step down. She feels I am more than capable and has asked me to reconsider....she said with a little coaching ete it'll all work out. I just don't think mentally I can't. I'm at the point of going out on sick leave. I feel everyone is talking about me and so paranoid

Help !

Do you think an appointment with your Dr might be an idea? You could be suffering from depression, anxiety or PND. It might be helpful to have a chat about how you're feeling.

It sounds like your manager has confidence in you and is willing to support you. It can be overwhelming going back to work after some time off. I'm sure your colleagues aren't talking about you.

Are there any professional development courses you can take to help you regain confidence?

So I quit my job, I got another one that's more suitable to my needs. And I left on good terms so all good !
