Well you haven't even been disciplined this time. It may be that you decide that this job is too stressful for you, although it sounds as if at the moment you're finding lots of things (not just work) stressful, so I wouldn't rush into any decisions.

It may be that taking some time off sick from work would make sense, although some people can find that more stressful than being at work, if they're just sat at home worrying.

I agree with what other people have said about asking your GP for an urgent referral for psychological support. Also, does your work have an Occupational Health department and/or an arrangement for employees to be able to access private counselling for free? Some employers do have such schemes.

Finally, do please carry on using this forum for support! That's what it's here for and many of us have benefitted enormously from it when we've been struggling.

You need to put it out of your mind @corriefan It’s happened, it’s gone. You didn’t have a disciplinary (very good thing) so you should be thinking of that as a Win. If we all went through life never making a mistake, we’d never have opportunities to learn and expand our experience and understanding.

What will happen next week? Nobody can tell but don’t assume it will be bad. Maybe you’ll have a play/learning breakthrough with a child, maybe a friend who you haven’t heard from for a while will contact you, maybe a parent will compliment you, etc etc.

The brain is a powerful force. You can reframe things and change the way you think, and this alone can bring you more peace. You might need help to do that or you might prefer to work on it yourself if you’re a private person, but it can be a powerful thing to do if you can train yourself to do so.
 
I agree with Inka. More than 15 years ago i was signed off sick with stress. I had some counselling sessions provided
by work and my doctor gave me a link to an online course. If I can remember I will post later. What it was really doing was to get me thinking positively again. One situation was someone ignoring you in the street. At that time my only thought would be thinking they were deliberately ignoring me, despite me being short sighted and knowing if I didn't have my glasses on I would need to be quite close to recognise them. There were a number of options on that scenario and I realised the benefit of not always jumping to a conclusion that made me feel miserable. I did go back to work with a smile on my face.

Thank you everyone for replying I'm feeling like I'm in such a dark place and so scared of everything I feel like nothing will get better.:( I'm honestly feeling so low and horrible:(
 
Hope you can fill in that form @corriefan and get an appointment
 
Your brain will be telling you all sorts of things at the moment, that don’t necessarily accurately reflect what is actually happening @corriefan

Be kind to yourself, and I really hope you begin to feel better this week.

lots of love and hugs
