Trying to get better

[ForBrickSnake]

I'd put this on earlier but can't find it so trying again to ask for advice.

I'm on my second day off work with depression and anxiety ocd. I'm not sure what to do about my job. As well as getting treatment for my ocd and meds been increased for just over a week, I'm not sure what to do. My job triggers my ocd so it's a combo of me and my job making life difficult. Do I get signed off - I need a different job but not well enough. Not sure what to do.

Hi OP, sorry to hear you are struggling. Did you get your deprsssion and ocd diagnosis from your GP? If so, then they should be able to give you a fit note for time off work. I think you would need that even if your employer doesn’t pay sick pay so that you can get SSP
