Mental health and my employment

[cazza74e]

As a result of my divorce and ongoing problems with my exh involving court I’m finding life really hard to cope with at the moment. I work as a 1-1 with children on the spectrum and am finding it increasingly difficult to work with them while I’m in this state of mind where I’m worried what I might do. Should I speak to my Manager regarding this and what are my legal rights? I’m on a fixed term contract and I’m worried that if I speak to work about it that they may terminate my contract immediately or use it as a reason to not renew it for September. I’ve told my manager I’m struggling to cope as it is and wanted to reduce my hours and was told that ‘I must remember that they still thinking about renewals for the next year’ and walked out. I’ve always been really good at my job and have never given them a reason to terminate due to not performing. I go above and beyond in fact. What do I do?
