Ive been at my new job for less than a month, but now Im off with stress, mainly because:
Company's finances appear to be in bad shape
The fate of the company appears to depend on my performance (a lot more pressure than I was expecting)
The guy who is meant to be helping me is on a huge power trip
I've sorta always had poor mental health, but have always managed to soldier on and go to work
I'd say it is #3 that has got to me the most, it was really stressing me out the way he was micromanaging me and criticising me when I've done nothing wrong, and making me out to be incompetent at my job.
What's annoying is that most of the time he would be really nice, so I wondered if it was all in my head.
This, combined with my already-poor mental health, meant it got to the point where I couldn't face going in and had to call in sick. Spoke to a doctor who prescribed me some meds.
My boss didn't seem happy about it and I felt like she thought it was a silly excuse. She then seemed a little more understanding but kept calling me and texting me asking when I was coming back.
If anything, being off sick is making me even more stressed about the whole thing.
I think I'm gonna have to leave altogether and find a new job but I worry that I'm blowing everything out of proportion
