    I prefer to talk to her face to face to avoid misunderstandings. She's in today and I've given her the details, so she knows what they'll be talking about on Wednesday. Thankfully my doctor's appointment is before then.

    Why would there be misunderstandings if you are typing facts to her?

    Sometimes I'll make assumptions about what the email recipient knows and miss out important details. Speaking face to face generally works better for me because I can fix mis-understandings much faster.

    This may be the sort of communication issues my manager is referring to.

    Sorry about the double post, but I got back from the doctor and she's diagnosed me with work related stress. I've been given an official looking form which tells my employer that my workload should be reduced for 4 week.

    Assuming I still have a job in 4 weeks' time, anything I don't get done will still be waiting for me at the end of the reduction, on top of the regular workload I'm dealing with now.

    Glad you're being seen and given some reduction in workload....
    Nothing about depression? Therapy? Medication?

    Nothing about depression. I must not be suffering enough.

    Were you completely honest about everything?

    Did you tell her that you are struggling with those elements too? Did you volunteer that info or did you just say that you were having a hard time at work?

    I had written a list of what I'm doing and what symptoms I'm experiencing, but I only managed to get about a third of the way through it before she asked about my work situation, after which she told me I didn't have depression.

    Have you previously had a diagnosis?
