    Hi @kimmyg51 - & welcome to the community. Would it be possible to reduce your hours? The other thing you could look into is 'Reasonable adjustments.' Scope has some info about that here:
    Hope this may help. :)

    Hello @kimmyg51

    Welcome to the community, sorry to hear you're finding work tricky since your diagnosis. Have you discussed reasonable adjustments with your employer?

    Hi and welcome 

    I would ask to be referred to occupational health for a workplace assessment in the first instance 

    They can then recommend any reasonable adjustments or where you should go from there 

    Let us know if you have any further questions
