Have had a complete meltdown at work! [sad]

Good news and thanks for the update.

Rest now Evie sending you every good wish

Evie sending you ((hugs)) & sit back and relax you deserve the rest have a chat with you Dr via a phone call and tell him how you feel,I'm sure your collegues will be grateful for all the work you have done.

Good outcome OP. Take care and don’t be reluctant to treat yourself by doing things that make you happy (current circumstances acknowledged). All the best.

Exposure to virus relates to the surroundings.

Someone suggested a physical barrier to protect yourself, a row of chairs. Something else that would reduce the viral load in your work room is for the window to be kept wide open, wear outdoor clothing when necessary.

It is remiss of your employer not to take these actions.

All I can add is that you sit back now Evie and take Grandad's advice. Have a worry-free summer !

Evie64 As you have chronic bronchitis I think it is perfectly natural and understandable that you felt very anxious and vulnerable. I'm not even sure you should have been at work in the first place.

I really don't think you should feel guilty about it - and I'm sure your colleagues will understand your fears.

I'm glad to hear your doctor has been supportive and that you can now relax and not worry about work.

I don’t think you should be working at all, definitely nothing to feel bad about. You haven’t let anyone down. Surely it’s time to take it easy and retire, particularly as you have health concerns. Look after yourself, and enjoy a well deserved rest.

Thanks to everyone again or your kind words and good advice. I'm relaxing at home and doing lots of reading, gardening etc and have begun to feel less stressed. The Manager emailed me to ask if she could contact me when she had any queries, I didn't reply!
