Letting work know

random

I had a couple of Crises this past week, and in panic I emailed work to let them know I have aspergers and cant cope. They have asked to have a meeting to discus my problems and see if they can help. I am really dreading it, keep changing my mind on what I should let them know. My last job, I seeked help from them for anxiety and depression, they did help for a year, but was made redundant, and I am certain this was because of my problems.

    A member of the autism diagnostic team has offered to support me at the meeting. She has been helping me get through recent problems, so will be good to back up my experience.

    One thing I am concerned about, is the HR person I need to speak too, is the main person organising the social events and gets very upset if people don't attend. I had shingles this time last year, and recovered just enough so I could get back to work, but couldn't go to Christmas Party because I still had problems travelling agrevating the pain.

    Another thing on my mind, is that I did tell my previous employer over six years ago about problems, and they helped me with cousueling. Didn't think anything about it, before redundancies were made, and I was in first round. I am certain opening up to them, led to me being made redundant.

    As far as work is concerned, I am capable of doing the work. Although I had asked to be more of a team leader which I have done in the past, and not sure that is the right path for me now. I discussed this with my manager recently, and he understood, but told me if I would have a problem if the guy who has recently started, taking the lead. I was open and told him I would, I would feel resentful.

    I have had problems at work over past 4-6 months, before that I still had massive problems in my life outside work, but work life was ok. I find work a help, as it keeps me busy and puts my mind on other things if I have a big problem. This gives me some breathing space, and I am able to think clearer about my problems.
