My husband left me earlier this year after 15 years of marriage. He just walked out, it was a total shock and soon after I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety by the doctor. I am currently on 30mg of citalopram daily and it is helping but I'm still not ok.
The problem I have now is work, I have a full time very demanding job and 3dc. I have daily headaches which the doctor has told me is due to my lack of sleep (3-4hours a night). I'm starting to have panic attacks and I am making massive mistakes at work that have cost the company money. I think I'm close to a disciplinary meeting. I think I need to stop working and try and concentrate on getting myself better, I have savings and get money from my ex.
I have worked or the same company for 6 years and only had 1 day off sick. I don't even get the weekends off although I'm not at work my boss will contact me all hours of the day and expect me to answer. I had to come home early from a day out with 3dc at the weekend as something needed urgent sorting for a customer. I had 6 emails from my boss yesterday that I had to get back to him on a Sunday.
How do I do this, I don't want to go back in, do I explain this to the doctor and get a sick note so I don't have to work my notice or can I decide not to go back. Has anyone been through this at all?
Please don't flame me for this but I feel my health is more important than my job and I cannot cope with my job. Please help með???
