I work in a very high pressure, high performing culture and my mental health is at an all time low. I can’t sleep, I feel physically ill. It’s been triggered by a specific circumstance but it’s all just underlying things coming up. 

My company preaches a lot about mental health and looking after each other but honestly I feel that if I said something although I’m sure I would be treated respectfully I think it would impact my career because it would give the impression I can’t handle pressure or responsibility.

Has anyone spoken to their boss about their anxiety and how did it go?
