[mothersmilkandherchickenseggs]

Iv been back at work fultime for 6 months previous to this i was stay at home mum for 5 years and loved it. everythin was fine to begin with, i get up at six drop kids off at 8 get to work for8.30 leave at 5.30 get home for 6. to begin with it was mad but liked it the job was good and i got on well with my co workers 4 weeks ago my job changed and in turn has resulted in a lot more pressure i havnt a clue how to do the job and im not getting any help, i stated just feeling irratable snapping at dh and the kids then it just got worse iv broken downa t work i worry all the time i cant sleep i cant eat my heart races amy chest hurts and i feel as thoughim always gasping for breath an im constantly on the verge of tears (if not in them) i handed in my notice on friday thinking that would make it all better, i was told i have to work 4 weeks notice it wasnt what i wanted but i htought it would be ok, i woke up at 1 o,clock this morning in a panic worring about work my heart started racing i got up at 6 got everyone ready and it wouldnt stop i was physically sick, iv called in sick and made a doctors appointment do you think he will sign me off i just cant cope with the idea of going back, iv never been like this befor and its really hard for iv always been a get on with it person head down heals in i hate feeling this way. My confidence is so low i think my doc wont believe me and i'll have to go back can someone please offer some kind reassuring words?

I think the GP will sign you off, and if they don't - then ask them to

But - it sounds like if your work was more supportive then you would be able to stay? Who changed your job? Was it with your agreement? Might it be worth considering raising a grievance or speaking to your manager so that you can stay at work?

in fareness they offered me another job when i handedin my notice butit still required me to continue to do this one untill april and it would be full time and i have come to realise that full time work right now with dh working aswell is not what i want.
i tried to tell them it was all going wrong but i think because i have always come across as extremly capapble they just ignored me,
can i actually ask my doc to sign me off?

Yes of course you can. They can say no, of course, but I think they are mostly pretty sympathetic. My tip - cry a lot when you are there and they will be writing you a sick note before you can blink.

I have only had 2 sick notes in my life, one last year and one about 8/9yrs ago. I have never taken the piss, IYKWIM and they know how stressful things can be. I didn't have to ask, just had a fortnight off. It was like a huge weighted lifted off me though.

But if they are transferring you internally to another role I don't see how they would need you to work a notice period TBH?

sorry didnet explain myself very well they offered me another job i didnt take it, so i handed in my notice to leave completely.
there were no part time positions availible

Ah I see. I also left my job. I asked them to put me on unpaid leave for the rest of my notice period so that I didn't have to work it - and they did But if they had said no I would have been off, on paid sick leave. I had just had enough.
