So two months down the line it's coming together. Left work a month earlier than expected - kept having panic attacks, not sleeping and breaking down in tears so they agreed to let me leave early (as you can imagine, I wasn't doing a great job!). Still have anxiety dreams about work but have self referred and going away for 6 months in three weeks time. Takong two notebooks - one to write down ideas of what I want to do/change when I get back to get a better work/life balance, and another to document the trip. Have told friends and family of what happened and on the whole have been supportive )some tbf didn't know how to react to something so out of character).
Looking back, boss and work made me feel like shit, didn't help sort out pressures etc but put the blame solely on me ("some people can't cope here ") which was fucking awful way to manage the whole situation, but I'm free and have a shit load of free time now to be free of everything. Feeling very lucky to be in this position.
