can anyone possibly offer any advice.
I've been off work for just under 2 weeks with anxiety(this is related to personal issues as well as work). I like my job even though its stressful, one problem for me though is that I get anxious around my manager. Ive spoken to her about this and she asks what she can do to help but I dont have an easy answer. What can you do when someone intimidates you ??? Its not direct either its just a build up of small things that have happened over the last 18 months.
Ive declined the offer of going to occupational health as I dont feel that the service will help me, can an employer make you go? Im really feeling like Ive dug a hole for myself and everyone is going to be questioning my ability to do my job??? She asked me if my GP recommended anything, I said antidepressants which I declined as I preferr the alternative therapies etc. Does this make a difference? My GP thinks Im making really good progress and Im determined not to let this bout of anxiety get the better of me.
My manager is meeting her manager next week to discuss me :eek: and I will be having a return to work welfare meeting with her.
As you can see Im getting worried about work and I feel as though Ive caused problems as Im off work with anxiety. Does anyone have any advice to offer? :(
