Your concern for your fellow employee is very noble.It could be several things.I think you are wondering if he has a communicable disease(one you could catch)If he continues to be sick and won't help himself,you could express your concern to your human resource manager.There is only so much you can do.Good Luck

Turn in your two weeks using the disability as a crutch. Some employers will wave the two weeks for those reasons and they still might give you a decent reference. \n\nYou could always tell them the truth that you are suffering from anxiety at the workplace and turn in your two weeks. They may try to resolve the problem before it's up and you may not have to leave.

sorry to hear about your hard time and being ill.\nunfortunately there is nothing in the law or any employment legislation that says your employers are not allowed to phone you.\nsome one mentioned harrasment but your employers would say they where asking about your health and they have a right to know how long you will be absent for,which again legally they can do and also inquire as to whether you have a sick note.\nsorry i could not be of more help\nmike

i have it happen occassionaly at work, when i bend down to do something, then stand back up, things spin and change color.  if this is consistently a problem, i'd definitely call your doctor.  if it's just once in a while, i wouldn't worry too much, just make sure you're taking care of yourself as far as diet and exercise and the like.

if your depression is seriously affecting your job performance, yes. if it's causing you to take more time off than you're supposed to have (check your employee handbook for your particular company's policies), yes. that said, you may want to talk to your company's HR and see if you might be eligible for some leniency; if your depression is going to require that you take off more & more time, inquire about the possibility of getting some flex time, or, if more drastic measures are required, a sabbatical or leave of absence.

You say your therapist told you (past tense) and you had sessions with the psychologist (past tense.)\n\nThis issue requires the present tense attention of a therapist and/or psychiatrist. It is encroaching on your ability to manage your normally daily life. You are embarrassed in public in a moderately stressful situation, but not one for which embarrassment is appropriate. You are not holding down a job because of this.\n\nGet there, go back and get your help. You deserve to overcome this and live a normal healthy life!\n\nBeing observed while performing a task is stress-inducing and when you can perform under those circumstances, it will be quite and achievement. You will be challenged and you will meet the challenge and overcome!

Tell your boss you have to go to the doctor and that you will bring a doctor's note back. Legally he has to let you go to the doctor and you can tell him so if he continues to give you crap about it.

Oh honey,  I am so sorry.  The mind is very powerful.  I can understand that you are stressed.  What you mentioned about it being more painful now that you have noticed the mass...is very accurate.  When you focus your energy on stressing about a health problem, it almost always makes it feel worse.  I have also been having health (teeth) problems that are totally encompassing, and I *can't* possibly put it out of my mind.  All that I can suggest is to change *how* you are thinking about it.  Instead of worrying about it and making yourself miserable, try to use your own energy to visualize healing yourself.  Instead of projecting/manifesting negativity, send positive healing thoughts to your body.  Tell your immune system how incredibly strong and smart it is, and how it is fully capable of healing your body.  I know it sounds crazy...but it will help you to feel better.  When you guide your body to do this, you need to be 100% confident in what you are thinking.  Not only will it actually lessen the physical pain that you are feeling, but it will also help lessen your anxiety about it until your appointment.  Whatever treatment the doctor gives you, continue this practice.  It will help you heal quickly.

have you left your house in this time at all?  Just checking cause if you haven't you may want to arrange to see a specialist.  Anxiety is help by changes in diet, exercise (even a walk and some vitamin D will do you some good), sometimes medication either temporary or permanent (if it helps) may take the edge off and allow you to get on with normal functioning.  Do you have medical coverage from this job? You could pursue help with that route and maybe take a medical leave if they were willing to work with you, but since you have neglected to even notify them of the circumstances they may not work with you on this one.  The following site has some good information on it, I encourage you to browse around.  If you are legitimately suffering...you should know that it may not be a weakness on your part but an illness that may be treatable in time.\n\nbest of luck,\n\ntharedhead\n\nIn the mean time I did locate this story on being afraid of dying, so much so that you don't want to live...maybe it would have some insights that may benefit you.
