That's great advice. Thank you. I know that it's hard in the heat of the moment, but I will be able to better prepare myself for the next time something like this happens with advice like that. It's tough to take a step back at times, and I think I may need to re-visit my mindfulness work again to help put a space between my thoughts and my actions.
I actually worked through last night to make sure that work I needed to do was completed, and I'd just contributed a really good idea at work, so I don't think in hindsight I had anything to be concerned about. They are a pretty understanding bunch.

Hi all,
Just had a meltdown here at home. I am not very good at handling my partner's illnesses. She was vomiting and had a serious migraine this morning, and after she dialed me accidentally at work after getting her mum to come and look after her, I decided to head home. I had a number of deadlines at work, so I was anxious about them, and when I got home, I mentioned that I was anxious about them, but in quite a shrill, panicky way. This escalated into an argument, where I made her illness, and my anxiety/ADHD worse, sending us both into a spiral.
Even though work have been understanding, I am still worried about it, and concerned that I have made myself look unreliable. One of my main fears in life is getting sacked, being not good enough, etc, and I constantly feel as if life is about to come toppling down. I recently (three weeks ago) had a Hernia operation that required me having two days off work (and a week working from home), so I'm just concerned that work see me as a drama queen, or a sicknote.
Any help or advice would be most appreciated. Am I being over-dramatic and ADHD-ing this?
(I should also add that none of this is my partner's fault - all of the decisions made in this were mine)

Hi everybody,
Does anyone on here have any experience with The Priory Group. I had a good chat with a receptionist at an ADHD Clinic in North London (Haringey), and he recommended a doctor who used to head up the NHS practice there, who is now a part of their group.
What's everybody's thoughts on them?
