Quick background, I have been diagnosed with major depressive and anxiety disorder. I take medication for these issues.

We recently started to reduce medication because of unpleasant side effects. Now I am getting some major anxiety issues.

I can’t concentrate at work, I constantly forget things and I am afraid to answer my workphone. I am really tired and can’t sleep properly.

I am also deadly afraid of getting sick leave. I fear that my boss will think negatively if I get sick leave due to anxiety, she will think I am weak and bad worker. I fear that the higher ups will start to look for a way to get me fired.

What should I do? What if my health starts to get worse?
