    Hi all,

    currently i am working with a small firm which is under staffed. the boss doesnt really care much about the company and just keeps loading the work on me. i cant get through it all and its got to the point were im depressed and drinking heavily. i've been told that if i dont stop drinking ive to get out of my house but the only way i can see myself stopping is by leaving this job. i've never been afraid of work and ive always worked hard all my life but this place is killing me.

    my question is if i was to leave this job and try to sign on would they let me? i feel like if i stay here i will have a nervous break down or become an alco.

    any help would be appriciated.

    First off, I think you should visit your GP to talk about the depression and alcoholism. They will be able to refer you to counselling where you can deal with these problems, since they are unlikely to magically disappear once you quit your job.

    Second, if your job is impossible and it is a hostile work environment, you have to explain this to them when you try to sign on. It's better if you have documentation (emails, record of conversations spanning weeks or months) to prove that you have tried to work out these issues with your boss. Evidence (such as a letter) from your GP that corroborates the effect this specific job is having on your mental health would be useful as well.
