Another anxiety time off work...

[heiders]

Hi there, I was off work with depression and anxiety from October 2012 till Feb 2014. I had a really bad boss and needed to return to work in a new team. Returned to work in a new team. Things have been on the up and feeling good about myself and my new job. Making positive changes inside and outside of work. The last few weeks have been challenging at work. But my mngr is off for nearly 3 weeks and her mngr is (my 2nd Line mngr) is micro managing me. Very demanding. And reminds me off my old boss. With this and these pass 2 weeks I have high anxiety and bad diahrrea. I ended up going to Gp who suggested taking a few days off. My family are telling me to fight through the anxiety and go back to work tomrw. I feel like I can't go back and need time off. I just don't know how that's going to be perceived by work. Has anyone been in this position. Any suggestion or your story would be very welcome. Xx

Hi, I'm currently on leave for anxiety. My boss thinks I'm stressed but it's different. Only been there 7 weeks and cry a lot. Feel sick to go back as not sure how to face the team or the week which is manageable but in such a state I can't deal with it.
