    Hi sorry to hear you are unwell.

    Employers have to follow certain procedures and put reasonable adjustments in place before they can dismiss someone.

    Are you claiming any benefits?

    are you in a union or does your work place have a staff listening group or similar. Ask your line manager to work with you.

    Hey @felipppe and welcome to the community.

    I'm sorry to hear you're having struggles with your mental health and work. Have you spoken to your boss about this? I'm sure they'd be willing to work with you rather than fire you, it could be worth asking for some reasonable adjustments.

    As Luvpink has asked, are you currently claiming any benefits? It could be worth you looking at a benefits calculator to make sure you're getting all the help you can.
