Approx 3 yrs ago I recovered from depression easion and anxiety, and came off medication. Previous bout was triggered by a major period of grieving. Since then, besides the normal ups and downs of life, I have felt fine.
In February this year I had a pregnancy termination. I do not regret the decision as such, but it has been an emotional roller-coaster and I carry guilt about it daily. Although that has been the primary cause for issues pre-Co-Vid19, there has been a lot of additional problems around my children and their access to alcoholic ex husband. Plus, the stress of lockdown has been massive.
Recently, within the last 2-3 weeks I have been making alot of mistakes at work. These have started to catch up with me and management have had to had chats and install new processes to check my work. I have always prided myself on being good at my job so this had really thrown me through a loop, and exasperated my anxiety levels. I feel I am making mistakes as I am so desperate to look keen and helpful, I am not paying attention to detail. Mistakes from Feb are raising their head now, that I can only put down to the stress of the termination at that time. I have been really trying to double check work but even still, mistakes keep happening. It's like I'm somehow blind to them!
Do I go to the docs for something to help, or am I just being an idiot at work and need to do better? I'm losing sleep and not eating as I'm so worried they are going to sack me. Finding a new job in this current climate will be nigh impossible.
