I have had the most horrifically stressful 3 weeks at work. I am relatively junior and yet was placed in a duration that meant I was taking on responsibility many many grades senior to be, with the promise of overtime.
I delivered what was needed, without the help from my Boss or team as they literally are not skilled enough to help. And then yesterday found out there was a meeting to discuss ongoing daily work using the thing I've developed bit without me being invited. It feels like the biggest kick in the teeth.
So, now I seem to be having some kind of reaction to the stress, am at home sick today and have been in tears for pretty much the past 24 hours. Also have horrific migraine.
I clearly am not capable of work, and am aware that I will have left work completely and utterly in the lurch (but don't care, no one asked if I was ok when I was working 14 hours a day and not seeing my DC's for days on end). I need to go to the GP, but I'm scared they will instead want to push meds on me. And I don't want to take them. Is there anything else the GP can offer? And any point in even bring signed off sick? I'll have to go back and face them all eventually . .
