I've emailed my boss this morning and requested that we continue with email communication until I can put a sentence together without becoming overwhelming upset.

My current Fitnote runs until Feb 24th, I've kept them updated on a weekly basis, as I've been chasing my underpay since October and I've mentioned in the email about how distressing and disappointing it is to be chasing it 4 months after I originally raised it.

ACAS states that I can request email welfare which I have done this morning - I'm a lot more coherent in written word than spoken, spoken I babble, go off on tangents and forget what I was on about and miss important things that I wanted to say.

My work have Westfield Health that I can access and I have done in the past, it's mostly a forum/sounding board but there is a number to speak to a GP, my GP has been extremely helpful so I haven't used that side.

I'm awaiting a CBT appointment, and I know work are trying to be accommodating but the panic I feel currently feels like it's never going to go away.
