I had a personal review today and it was full of comments about me being off sick too much, not measuring up etc. I’ve been sick often because of my anxiety. 

They know I have anxiety and I had to take extended sick leave last year because of it. 

I got the feeling they didn’t fully agree with my reaction to a difficult situation in work last year, which led to me becoming very unwell with anxiety and taking the extended sick leave. I’m not really sure how to process this and my anxiety is causing me to constantly think about their comments. 

Anyone any advice on how to handle this kind of situation? My anxiety really has affected my passion for my job and it’s hard to hear constructive criticism because it just makes me feel more anxious. I feel defeated and anxious about going into work again.
