But as silly as it sounds,i am scared of talkin 2 her. I feel sick and panicky just thinkin about it!

Thanx for replying though x

By writing a letter you wouldn't have to actually speak to her, you could say you are not up to talking on the phone  and that your consultant will explain in a letter he/she is going to be sending her.  That way you are keeping lines of contact open.

I agree with shaz but if you really feel unable to write to her I'm sure the consultant's letter will be enough xxx

Sorry haven't been around today.

This is exactly how I felt, the mere thought of it made me break out in a sweat of complete panicky fear.  I eventually went for the email route, that way you have evidence of your correspondance.
Maybe say that you have been advised by your consultant not do undertake the task and that you are not in the right frame of mind. Maybe mention that this can be supported by a letter from your consultant if needed.

I guess what I'm trying to say is take your consultant up on the offer but only use if they don't play ball.

I have written a simple letter explaining that i and my consultant do not think i am fit enough to be able to write the childrens reports. I am going to send it tomorrow.

I have to put myself first and its probably the first time i ever i have done this.

[Sweetpea]

Good for you woozy, think we are all guilty of thinking of ourselves last.

In my opinion you've done the right thing. Don't feel you have to apologise for putting yourself first - the school will have to cope while you get well :)

[woozywoo]

Thanx guys,its wrong,but its hard 2 put yourself first. But i really appreciate all the support on here!

[woozywoo]

Argh! In the last half am hour i am having a panic. Sayin no to the reports is goin to cause problems. Not all my records in school have been kept up to date,i have struggled to keep on task!

Headache,panic,sick

[Catbrian]

So woozy.....are you worried you'll be in trouble for not keeping your records up to date? 

This is precisely why employers are not supposed to contact employees when they're off sick.... you could do without the additional stress.

[Zaf]

Brilliant writing that letter, they are in the wtong contacting you, dont worry about the records, they will manage without them

Don't worry about that. That is to be expected from someone who is suffering from depression. That's why your off. They will just have to handle it. :)

[Buttercup]

Agree with Whiteadder

Thanx guys. Well email sent. Was originally goin to print out and send,but it would take to long,needed to know it was there asap. If no reply after a couple of days will email again and ask for confirmation,just to know she has it!

[Buttercup]

Well done Woozywoo, does it feel like a relief? I guess it will feel better when you have a reply.

On my email there's a box I can tick that then tells me when an email I have sent is read.
