Feel like I can't do anything right

After making a fairly big mistake at work recently due to a particular bad episode of anxiety and depression, I feel as if I can't do anything right. I keep trying to make efforts to fix my mistakes but colleagues keep criticising everything I do. My line manager, who I explained my struggles to, is now micro-managing me and talking to me like a child. Thankfully I'm starting a new job in a few weeks time but have a lot to get done before I leave. I work predominantly from home so don't have to see my colleagues in person but every time I get an email, I feel a surge in anxiety. Has anyone got any advise on how to to get through the next few weeks, or how to overcome acute anxiety enough so that I can get my work done.

I'm sorry OP, that sounds really stressful. I think if it were me I'd try to bide my time as much as possible and keep focused on the move (congrats on the new job!) but if it is becoming too much, would you perhaps be able to speak to the GP about getting signed off due to stress for the remainder of your term there? I'm not 100% on how it all works sorry, but it might be an option.
