Discussing anxiety with work

Has anyone any experience of telling work about anxiety? I'm struggling to know how to approach it.

My anxiety stems from fertility issues which work are aware of, this then worsened after i gave birth and was on maternity leave and they know nothing about that side of things.

It's certainly got worse again on returning to work and is being compounded by my direct boss who i feel has been completely off with me since my return. I've plucked up the courage to talk to another manager but he wants me to put everything in writing to discuss with him tomorrow and i'm really finding it hard to put it all into words because i feel like i'm going to sound petty or be dismissed as hormonal.

So basically i'm feeling anxious about discussing my anxiety and could do with some tips if anyone has any?

I don't have anything helpful to say, but I'm in a similar situation. My immediate line manager knows unofficially, but isn't giving me any leeway at all. I'm contemplating making it "official", but I don't know if that will make things worse and that's making me very anxious.
