Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here... I've been off work for the past 15 weeks approx, due to work related stress, I am the manager of a nursery however I am not supported by my employer, she is my manager, i often asked her for support but instead she cut budgets and gave unrealistic goals, she gave me less time and more work for my staff then my deputy admitted that she was a heroin user and that just sent my stress levels raising as she was a friend as well as a co-worker. I had been very stressed at work for the past year it got that bad that i cudnt stop crying so the doctor signed me off for two weeks but i went back early as i was worried about my manager being angry with me taking the time off, I went back work for a week then quickly realised i cudnt cope so had another trip to the doc's he signed me off for two more weeks then i felt refreshed and went back work feeling good, on the monday i had a good day then on the tuesday I had a back to work interview in which the owner asked me to resign as manager instead of supporting me i felt like i was being treated unfairly during the interview and I got very upset so I asked to go home and was signed off for 4 weeks then for a further 8 weeks, I am now on week 11 and I havnt done anything about my position within the company due to still feeling too stressed. I cant sleep, I sweat alot when I'm under a lot of stress, I'm getting constipation all the time amounst other symptoms. I have been reading about my working rights from time to time but mostly trying to relax and get well again, in all the correct ways but I'm still up and down, more down really. What can I do to help myself? Where can i go to get help? I'm sick of feeling so low. I am on anti-depresents, I have been for three months but i still get very depressed. I have started back college a couple of weeks ago which has stressed me out even more. help!
