Lost the job because of anxiety

4 Replies

Hi everyoneI have been struggling with anxiety for several months. My GP thought my symptoms were neurological, so he referred me for an MRI and to a neurologist. I was diagnosed only a few months later. I tried many medications before I found the right one, that's why it takes so long. Now, when I started feeling better and started therapy, my employer dismissed me due to long sick leave. I worked in a hospital and expected more understanding from them. They knew my situation - the GP gave an incorrect diagnosis, so I spent months without appropriate medications and treatment. Have any of you been in a similar situation? Can I appeal? What should an appeal contain?

Difficult. It's unkind of your bosses to let you go, but as I don't know which country you are in , I cannot really advise.

If you are in Britain , you could try the Citizen's Advice Bureau, or if you had a union you could try them, or ACAS.

Cheers, Midori

Hi I am in UK, I am not a union member

Hi Mirta1984. I’m sorry to hear of the issues you’ve faced. Give ACAS a call, they’ll be able to advise you further. I’ve spoken to them in the past and found them helpful. Wishing you all the best x
