Really struggling

MrsG

I'm waiting for my diagnosis and am currently suffering from a major breakdown.  I am currently signed off from work because of anxiety (I just can't cope being around others) and I'm due to go back to work on 17th but the idea of it is just making me so anxious.  I've got to the point now where I can't leave the house alone (without my husband or sons).  I was trying to come off the anti depressants but I'm now back on them because I just want to shut myself away from the outside world.  I am gaining a much greater understanding of autism and how it affects me and I thought that meant I was coming to terms with it but gosh I feel so very low at the minute.  I just don't see how I can continue working and this is really scaring me because I think my husband will leave me if I don't work.

    I wouldn't be able to do my current job from home but I could do another role from home and to be honest it's the route I'd like to go down really.  I struggle so much just getting out of the house at the moment without my husband or sons so don't understand how I can go back to work.

    Money wise we could manage it would just be extras that we'd have to do without which to be honest I'm fine about but my husband isn't really seeing it from my point of view.

    Thank you so much for your reply - I really appreciate your time.
