Depression & Anxiety And Starting Work Please Help!!!

[louise123456789]

Ive been suffering with depression and anxiety for 2years now, I have no-one to talk to. Its really getting me down and I don't know what to do, I am single and have a little girl who is 3 she has just started nursery so I thought I would start looking for work to give me something useful to do with my free time. I started a new job 2 weeks ago and stopped all our benefit money and in the job I really wasn't happy and it was making my anxiety worse and I had to quit because of it and now I don't know what to do as we will have no money. What do I do?

If you have already quit you need to do two things:

Go to see your GP and if you haven't already been diagnosed with depression and anxiety tell them how you feel. Get a letter from your GP to say you have depression and anxiety, maybe just a sicknote.

Then take that note to the Job Centre and speak to a benefits adviser.

With hindsight quitting a new job so quickly, before you had chance to settle down, was not the best move, but you will survive. Sort out the practical stuff first.

Yes Ive quit I just couldn't do it nomore I put up with it for 2 weeks the people I had to work with were horrible and It was making me feel ill they were saying im on a probation period anyway and id be gone in 2days. But I have an appointment next week with my doctor and couldn't wait till then should I just ring the jobcentre and explain or would they just say its my fault?
Thanks for your help x

I think it is better if you go to the Job Centre with a sick note, explaining why you quit. Is there no way you can see your doctor sooner? This is urgent.
