Really struggling :(

Hi guys I’m having a really really hard time at the moment

I’m undergoing diagnosis for Autism, I also have ADHD, fibromyalgia, a stomach problem, depression, anxiety IT GOES ON!

I’ve been off work with my asthma for 2 weeks - working from home for a week. As my my doctors note (work don’t really allow it)

I’m really really struggling with everything and I don’t know if it’s autism getting on top of me or just everything.

I woke up this morning and the thought of going to work had made me ball my eyes out for nearly a hour and nearly be sick because how much I’m cry, which then sets my asthma off!

It’s not that I don’t like my job, the job is okay I’ve been doing it from home it’s just the thought of going to work, leaving the house, being in an office with a load of people is literally making me have a breakdown and cry every morning.

I’ve told work I’m undergoing autism diagnosis and all the other issues I have but they don’t seem to understand.

I think I’m just going through a burnout but I have no idea what to do, I haven’t looked much into autism except the last year and I feel like it’s (I know it can’t) just getting worse and worse to the point I don’t even want to leave to go to work anymore it’s really effecting me.

  • Hi and welcome to the community. 

    Have you spoken to your doctor about how you are feeling? If not I'd suggest talking to them first, as they may be able to help with your mental health.

    Also have you spoken to your management about how going to the office is affecting you? Maybe you could arrange to work from home until you feel stronger. If they won't allow that, you may have to take some more sick leave until you are feeling better.

    I'm sorry I can't be more help and I wish you well.
