Hi, I’m new just now. I’m struggling a lot, I’m waiting for my first CBT appointment which is in a couple of weeks. I’m at work, and I really don’t want to be here, but because I’m a single parent, I need to pay the bills. I don’t know whether to ask my employer how long I would get full pay before statutory sick pay kicks in, I think if I ask, they will assume I’m going to go off and I don’t want it to appear that I’m going off just for the hell of it. I just need some space. I’ve asked my partner for some space which is helping, but now I worry about them being ok. I just don’t know how to take any steps forward. Thanks for listening….. if anyone’s out there….
