Wanted to put something on here as I don't really have anyone to talk to, and I know when I tell my family this they will only be angry with me.
I have suffered from anxiety / depression / headaches nearly all my life, as I have got older, got a family and a son they have got worse. I work full time in local government and find life really hard sometimes. Due to stress I think recently I have been off sick from work a number of times with migraines, and today had to have an official interview with my boss about it.
He says that he had noticed I have a few Mondays off and that looked a bit "sus" I asked him what he meant by that, was he inferring I was drinking or partying (I wish [xx(]) and he then said NO, so I am still not sure what that means. He said he will have to call in health and safety to look at my workstation where I work to see if they can do something.
I am not blaming my employer for this, but I have to work to pay the mortgage and I am now worrying and scared I have messed up my career record with this on my file.
I try so so hard, and the doctor knows about it. I have taken God knows how many pills and things to try and stop the onset of the migraines, I am also on citalopram for depression. I have had an MRI scan to check it is nothing in my head (that was all OK) so I dont know what else to do. When I have a bad migraine attack I cannot see, walk or even speak without slurring, so going to work with it would not be an option.
Really want some help and advice from people.... feel really scared, alone and depressed. [V]
