Please tell your doctor all that you have put on here. I’m not surprised that you have had the reaction you have, it is a normal reaction to an abnormal load of stressors! Some work places have access to counselling services, which can be quicker than the NHS, access it if they do! Otherwise accept whatever the GP offers, including meds, they can help in the short term. If your area does self referral to IAPT then please try that, CBT can work very well for problems like this. Be kind to yourself and take the time you need to feel fit to return to work, your GP will sign you off. I would also think longer term about looking for other employment, it can be very difficult to feel comfortable somewhere others have been unkind.
