How to get out of this sink hole

[wintertimesadness]

Lots has been going on the past few years. Lots of bereavements , involvement with Social services , court, you name it I've been there for some reason. Add to that an abusive childhood and you have a real bingo card of mental health issues.
I've made an emergency GP appt today, what should I be saying to them?

Also is it true you have to disclose reason for sickness to your employer?

Oh bless you, you poor thing. How did the appt go? Have you had anti-depressants before as they may really help you?
I’m not sure if you have to give a reason for being signed off, I suspect your doc could just say you’re signed off with stress?

Thanks yes I had an appt and got given sertraline and a referral for bereavement counselling. Been signed off for a week , was offfered 3 but daren't stay off work for that long.
