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.

    Signing off work is probably for the best; I was signed off in January, and now have to ask for a new sicknote.

    Social Fear is a major issue. How understanding is your GP?

    If things get too much, perhaps call Samaritans. (they're not just for suicidals, but for those in isolation wanting another voice to hear)

    Yeah it's social fear for me too.  I actually work in a school and I'm fine with children but gosh I really struggle with adults and it causes me major meltdowns - I end up in the toilet trying to calm down.

    I don't think I'll be able to go back so I'll have to get another sick note from my GP   

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