That's it really. The thought of logging in today is making me nauseous. I have too much to do. I'm already on anti depressive. I lie wake worrying about work. My manager hates me.I'm now getting to the point where I want to quit. I'm looking for a new job.
But I can't I'm the sole earner and we have no savings.
I have a drs appointment today to review my medication and I'm so tempted to ask to be signed off.
Wwyd?

I’d get signed off (assuming sick pay?) and give yourself a chance to catch your breath and work out your way forward…which is usually to get your head in a better place, then you can work out what to do about the job….whether that’s to change it, or get yourself to a place where you can deal with it being shit-which admittedly is easier said than done

I presume sick pay but you never know.
I'll see what the Dr thinks

Having woken up yet again at 4am worrying about work (and I have today off because I was so stressed last week) I feel your pain.

Why do you think your manager hates you? What (else) is it about the role that's causing you stress?

Sick pay entitlement will be in your contract or handbook. I’d look at that before you do anything else, unless you can afford to be off on SSP (£109.40 a week, first 3 days unpaid). It might make your MH a lot worse if you’re suddenly stressing about money.

What makes you think your manager hates you? Is there anyone there you can talk to?

I feel similar. I’m going to hand my notice in today. I can’t do it anymore.

@Comff hope it goes well.
I've got a 1-1 with my manager later arghh.
