Hi all,
I started a new job and it went well for the 1st year. At the year end performance review my boss asked me to take on some new responsibilities. This caused me develop anxieties about being overworked and having a bipolar stress failure. This eventually led to two bouts of insomnia in a matter of 2 weeks. I have never had insomnia like this before and have addressed it with my doctor.
My question is what do other people do to manage employer expectations at work and manage overtime?
My doctor has offered to write a note saying I can not accept new responsibilities to manage my stress levels. Does anyone have experience with that and what are the reactions?
Note I have not disclosed my illness to my employer.
